SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 22, 2025 — South Korean ice machine and shaved ice equipment manufacturer Korea Nakajo Co., Ltd. (CEO Jongmoon Choi) is ramping up its global market push, increasing exports of its flagship ICEVAN product range. After building its presence in Korea’s B2B sector—especially with cafés and unmanned retail outlets—the firm now ships to over 20 countries spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East, solidifying its status as a global player in cooling and ice-making technology.
Established in 2000, Korea Nakajo has developed a robust production and quality-control system supported by its INNOBIZ certification (for technology-innovative SMEs), plus ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) certifications. The company also holds key global certifications including CE, CB, and ETL, and adheres to international regulatory standards such as Europe’s FCM Migration Test for food-contact materials, WEEE, and POPs compliance. These achievements strengthen its competitiveness in safe, eco-friendly manufacturing.
Korea Nakajo’s flagship ICEVAN lineup features nugget-type ice dispensers optimized for cafés and unmanned self-serve bars, cube ice scoop machines, and snow ice makers. Equipped with automatic drying and UV sterilization functions, these products significantly raise hygiene standards; their compact design allows installation even in limited spaces, making them suitable for a wide range of business environments. Notably, the snow ice maker—which produces finely crystallized milk ice—has earned strong overseas reviews for its soft, uniform texture.
The company recently completed an expansion of its smart manufacturing-based production facility, boosting overall efficiency. Its 6,700㎡ manufacturing infrastructure now includes the newly established Prime_3Con Lab (a dedicated R&D organization) plus specialized production lines: Core Works, Flow Works, and Crystal Works—ensuring stable production and supply capabilities. Korea Nakajo has also enhanced customer support by building a nationwide after-sales service network and adopting a data-driven system that analyzes equipment history to deliver fast technical assistance.
Korea Nakajo’s global performance has been recognized with consecutive export awards, including the ‘2 Million Dollar Export Tower’ in 2023 and the ‘3 Million Dollar Export Tower’ in 2024. The company continues to expand its overseas partner network across the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, Japan, China, Thailand, the UAE, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Panama, and more, strengthening brand awareness in international markets.
“Korea Nakajo is emerging as a trusted brand among global customers thanks to our internationally certified technology and commitment to hygiene and safety. We will continue expanding our product lineup and reinforcing our global distribution channels so customers around the world can experience ICEVAN products,” CEO Jong-Moon Choi stated.
