C. Nelson Manufacturing Company was founded in 1898. The Smith Family has owned the company for the past 30 years. Kelley Smith and his family are the current owners in the succession of the family business. Over the past 20 or more years, the Nelson Manufacturing Company has distinguished itself in the custom design of commercial refrigeration products in small quantities, particularly for outdoor use. Nelson has become quite skilled at solving customer problems for unique designs, from extreme environmental conditions to exquisite-looking pieces. Nelson evolved into more complex set-ups, including kiosks complete with distributed electrical and plumbing systems for a variety of food service applications and lately into high visibility, low curved glass display cabinets. Our accounts include all major ice cream companies. Our customers can be found in amusement and theme parks (including Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens and Cedar Point), Racetracks, Coliseums, Schools and Universities, Sports Complexes and many Zoos around the country.more...See more text
