Easy Ice, a US provider of full-service ice machine subscription solutions, has acquired The Ice Factory in Missouri.

Operating in Osage Beach, Missouri, since the late 1980s, The Ice Factory – formerly known as Wally's Refrigeration – has provided customer service to the Lake of the Ozarks region.

Darren Boruff, Easy Ice's chief acquisitions officer, said: "I am very excited to grow the business in a unique recreational area such as the Lake of the Ozarks and the surrounding areas. The Ice Factory will enhance our position and allow us to offer superior service to our new customers as we expect to seamlessly tuck this operation into our Sedalia branch."

With both companies relying on similar equipment brands, such as Hoshizaki and Manitowoc, Easy Ice said it expects a smooth transition for customers and employees.
