Accucold is the medical and life science refrigeration division of Felix Storch, Inc. (FSI), a privately held specialty appliance manufacturer founded in 1969 and controlled by the Storch family. Operating from Bronx, New York, with fabrication in Wallingford, Connecticut and warehousing in Edison, New Jersey (combined ~300,000 square feet), Accucold manufactures purpose-built refrigerators, freezers, and warming cabinets for hospitals, pharmacies, clinical laboratories, and life science research institutions. Its product portfolio spans the Performance Series (medical-grade refrigerators and freezers), Pharma-Vac (NSF/ANSI 456-certified vaccine storage), Pharma-Lab (laboratory units), MOMCUBE (breast milk storage for hospital neonatal units), PureTherm (warming cabinets and blanket warmers), and dual compressor combination units, with temperature capabilities from standard pharmaceutical refrigeration (+2°C to +8°C) down to ultra-low storage (-86°C).
Core technology centers on precision temperature control and monitoring. Proprietary elements include patent-pending temperature stabilization technology, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited in-house NIST calibration laboratory, the PharmaWatch IoT-based wireless monitoring platform with Virtual Temperature Buffer technology, NIST-calibrated USB digital data loggers, LogTag Online cloud integration, and factory-installed antimicrobial pure copper handles. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and products certified to NSF/ANSI 456, and operates one of the largest rooftop solar panel installations in New York City at its Bronx headquarters.
Accucold generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of medical-grade refrigeration equipment, distributed through an extensive multi-tier channel network spanning healthcare/medical equipment dealers and distributors, wholesalers, independent retailers, selected online retailers, and private label/OEM arrangements across the USA and Canada.
