Founded in 1994 by Mark McCartney, Arctic Refrigeration, Inc. has established itself as a leading provider of commercial food equipment and supplies. Starting from humble beginnings, Mark began his journey with a service truck and a commitment to delivering fast and reliable repairs throughout the Springfield area. His extensive experience—over 40 years in the industry—has been integral to the growth and reputation of the company. Originally focused on refrigeration services, the company transformed into Arctic Food Equipment in 2000 as it expanded to include sales of new and used commercial food equipment and front-of-house items.
In 2003, to meet increasing demand, Arctic Food Equipment relocated to a larger facility that features a 10,000 square-foot showroom and a test kitchen. This move not only enhanced their capability to serve customers but also allowed them to showcase a wide range of products, from cooking equipment to furniture, cleaning supplies, and disposables. Over the years, they have developed strong relationships within the community, welcoming chefs of all skill levels to explore their offerings.
In 2018, Nathan McCartney joined the family business, bringing a wealth of leadership experience from his time in the Air Force and enhancing the company's marketing and customer relations strategies. Together with an experienced sales team, Arctic Food Equipment continues its mission to exceed partner expectations by fostering value-based relationships in the commercial kitchen industry. The company's long-standing commitment to integrity and customer service has made it a trusted choice for restaurant operators and food service professionals in the greater Springfield area. Prospective customers are encouraged to visit their state-of-the-art showroom—open Monday through Friday—to see how Arctic Food Equipment can meet their operational needs.
