Follett Broadens Reach With New Denver Facility

Ice machine manufacturer Follett, based in Easton, Pa., has expanded its manufacturing capabilities with the addition of a new facility in Denver.

Follett will share the existing facility with sister Middleby ice brand Kloppenberg. Named Follett Denver, the facility will deliver Follett and Kloppenberg brands.

Michael Raycher, Follett president, says in the release that the new facility will help shorten lead times to ensure two-day shipping to much of the U.S. “Combining our talented teams, we are poised to achieve greater efficiency, foster innovation, and enhance our service offerings,” Raycher adds. “The synergies between our organizations will enable us to streamline operations, leverage best practices, and accelerate our growth trajectory.”

Follett Denver started renovations in mid-2024 to support the addition of ice machines and dispensers and is expected to be fully operational by mid-2025.
