Company History
Felix Storch, Inc. was founded in 1969, and has been a leading supplier of compact, specialty, commercial and medical refrigerators and freezers since then. In 1969 we trademarked the SUMMIT® brand name, which now also encompasses SUMMIT PROFESSIONAL (for stainless steel upscale products), and SUMMIT COMMERCIAL (for commercially approved products). In 1983 the company relocated from Long Island City to its (still used) 50,000 square foot facility in the Bronx, NY, and in 1998 we acquired a 2nd nearly 100,000 square foot facility that is now our headquarters, manufacturing and distribution facility at 770 Garrison Ave. in the Bronx. Due to continued growth we now lease additional facilities in Boston, MA; Northern, NJ and the Hartford, CT area. We remain a private, family owned business, with no outside investors.
Our product line consists of over 600 models of specialty refrigerators and freezers that serve a variety of markets, including household and commercial kitchens, specialized compact products for offices, schools and foodservice establishments, medical storage refrigerators and freezers, and hotel refrigerators and minibars. We also distribute a line of over 100 household ranges, wallovens and cooktops - all made in the USA - including a number of unique stainless steel models. Our product line is completed by a large number of specialty appliances including microwave ovens, refrigerator-microwave combinations, outdoor serving carts and refrigerators, beer dispensers, and wine cellars.
In 2005, we trademarked the ACCUCOLDŽ brand name for a new line of scientific and laboratory refrigerators and freezers with many unique features.
We serve our markets through a variety of distributors and wholesalers, a large network of dealers, and some catalog and online retailers.
