Easy Ice has completed another 2024 acquisition—this time, taking over the ice machine leasing operations of Credential Leasing and Finance in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Credential Leasing and Finance has been in business since 1960, proudly operating as one of the oldest privately owned equipment leasing companies in the United States.
As Easy Ice takes over the ice machine leasing portion of their business, Credential will continue to provide the personalized, solution-oriented leasing of other types of equipment to their customers that has made them so well known in the area. This serves as another opportunity for Easy Ice to expand its operations in a key region—adding much more density to the DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia markets.
“We are extremely excited to add growth to this area. Integrating Credential’s operations into ours will be a huge step for Easy Ice in this region, allowing us to significantly expand our reach and give more businesses the superior service that Easy Ice offers. We look forward to more customers getting their ice the Easy Way.”
Daren Boruff, Chief Acquisitions Officer, Easy Ice
As with their past integrations, the transition for Credential Leasing & Finance’s ice machine leasing customers will be seamless as they join Easy Ice’s ever-growing base of customers across the United States.
Easy Ice has changed the way businesses manage their ice supply—moving them away from ice machine ownership and toward a managed leasing solution. With over 35,000 machines under their management across 47 states, they’ve made affordable ice machine leases available to customers all over the US. They offer a subscription model that includes equipment maintenance, repairs, and regular cleaning, making it easier for businesses like restaurants and convenience stores to manage their ice production without the hefty upfront costs of purchasing a machine. Their model aims to simplify operations for businesses by taking care of the technical aspects of ice machine maintenance, ensuring reliable ice availability while allowing owners to focus on other aspects of their operations. They also typically offer a variety of machine options to fit different needs.
