Franklin Industries was established in 1995 and is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Its creation was sparked by a timely opportunity for two groups with decades of experience in key disciplines across a number of industries (including appliances, foodservice equipment, housewares, consumer electronics, and water systems) to combine resources and leverage their expertise in a new venture. Franklin Industries LLC designs, makes and distributes a selective line of equipment for food and beverage preparation, preservation, and enjoyment. They believe that eating and drinking should be wholesome, fun, relatively easy, and affordable. Their goal is to bring you a constant stream of innovative appliances that fill your needs and enhance your lifestyle, or your profits, better than anyone else's, anywhere. It takes a world of experience and knowledge to deliver on that goal. The Franklin Chef FIM Series of Ice Makers finds wide application in households, bars, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, etc. These units produce crystal-clear, gourmet cube ice and offer convenience for homeowners and hotel guests. An insulated ice storage bin is built into each ice maker. Every Franklin Chef Ice Maker is designed and manufactured according to the highest standards of safety and performance. It meets or exceeds the safety standard of UL563 and sanitation standard NSF12.
