Emery Thompson started in 1905 and continues to grow; one customer at a time.

This past October 11, 2024 it was announced “Middleby Acquires Emery Thompson Frozen Dessert Equipment Company”. Sit back and listen to my conversation with my good friend, Steve Thompson, as he tells the story of the journey of his family’s business.

Steve is not leaving the company, he looks to guide the family business into the Middleby (Taylor Company/part of the Middleby family) family of businesses over the next 3 years. Taylor Company & Emery Thompson are leaders in both innovation & customer service; in the Ice Cream Industry.

The Emery Thompson name and quality will continue for another 120 years.
