FOCUSUN Developed the First Tube Ice Machine in the World traced
back to 1929!
Jüergen Hans invented the tube ice machine in 1929 and founded
Külinda in 1932, becoming the only tube ice machine manufacturer in
Europe. His son, A.P. Focusun, further developed the technology and
obtained a US patent in 1939. In 1950, A.P. FOCUSUN founded Külinda
(USA) in Albany, which later became the FOCUSUN Company. FOCUSUN
adjusted its strategy in 2002 to focus on research and technology
consulting and entered China by establishing Ferguson Refrigeration
(Shanghai) Equipment Co., Ltd. The company expanded to new markets
in Africa, the Middle East, and South America, becoming a widely
recognized brand in the ice machine industry.
