    1. Introduction ® VOGT ICE , LLC A Brief History Of Our Company. Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice ® machine and revolutionized the ice-making industry. Our first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old can- ice plants, which required much hard labor and large amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting, and crushing ice by hand.
