Polar Leasing Breaks Ground in Florida, Expanding Reach Across Southeast

ColdStorageNews.jpg

May 18, 2024

Polar Leasing Company, a provider of electric ground-resting outdoor walk-in freezers and refrigerated rental units, is growing operations with a new facility in Sumterville, Florida. This significant milestone marks the company’s initial real estate venture beyond its Fort Wayne, Indiana, headquarters.  

The new facility in Florida is wholly-owned and managed by Polar Leasing. 

"The launch of our Sumterville facility underscores our ongoing commitment to enhancing proximity to customers nationwide,” said President, Bart Tippmann. “We're enthusiastic about the opportunities this investment brings to better cater to the evolving needs of businesses in Florida and neighboring states, ensuring they have access to dependable and efficient cold storage solutions.” 

Polar Leasing will begin delivery of a state-of-the-art fleet of walk-in refrigerator and freezer units to the region in the upcoming months. Tippmann said Florida was selected for a second facility based on the robust sales activity in the region. 

Polar Leasing offers ground-resting, ready-to-use walk-in rental units designed for maximum efficiency in a sanitary environment. Every rental walk-in unit is American-made, arrives preassembled and only requires a simple electric hookup. All units have a 100% seamless fiberglass interior and exterior that ensures internal components remain independent of external temperatures – even in the toughest weather conditions.  

Polar Leasing’s short-term unit rentals provide a hassle-free and economical solution for all cold storage needs and are ideal for many industries, including restaurants, foodservice and catering, pharmaceutical and biotech and agriculture. 

About Polar Leasing 
 In early 2002, Polar Leasing Company, Inc., was created by Polar King to accommodate the growing demand for walk-in refrigeration rentals. Polar Leasing offers the largest all-electric fleet of temporary refrigeration in North America, with nearly 100 distribution depots and a 24/7 service hotline.
