Orlando, Florida — August 2025 — Everest Ice and Water Systems has once again secured a position on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, marking its fifth consecutive year of recognition. This distinction places Everest among an elite group of companies, less than one percent in the list’s 42-year history, that have achieved such sustained success.

Everest remains the only ice and water vending machine company to appear on the Inc. 5000, reinforcing its industry leadership and commitment to innovation year after year.

“Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 once is a remarkable accomplishment,” said Dan Doromal, President of Everest Ice and Water Systems. “Achieving it five years in a row reflects our vision, resilience, and the dedication of our incredible team. It proves that we’re not just keeping pace with the industry, we’re setting the pace.”

Everest’s growth has been driven by its mission to modernize and disrupt the traditional ice distribution model. For more than a century, ice production has relied on centralized facilities and refrigerated trucking, first by horse and buggy, and today by diesel fleets, a process that remains costly and inefficient.

“By leveraging automation to produce ice on-site, directly at the point of purchase, we deliver a fresher, more reliable product while reducing labor, logistics, and environmental impact,” Doromal added. “Everest machines are more than equipment; they are a scalable, sustainable solution that allows operators to serve customers 24/7 with consistency and confidence.”
