About ICEBOX MFG

Icebox Knitting started in 1993 with a 400 unit hat order from Twist Clothing. With one table top knitting machine that used a finger to run the knitting carriage across the needles. For just over 10 years Icebox stayed at Alpine Knitting Mill in Boulder, CO honing the skill of knitting and sewing. In 2006 Scott Baker came onboard as working partner to run daily operations and assist in Icebox Knitting growth trajectory. Several years later, the 2010 – 2015 economic crisis, recessions and off-shore competition forced Icebox to re-think its outdoor market position. At its core Scott knew the full value of Icebox making product domestically and for a wider audience of consumers. The first e-commerce site was launched in 2012 and private label manufacturing of many different products outside of knit headwear followed. Reaching out to professionals outside of the company Scott began the consistent stride of training not only his team members on the new products but himself on how to be a better entrepreneur. That skill set still holds true today, Scott is always searching out ways to bring efficiencies to production, encouraging all teams to learn LEAN strategies so they can see the immediate results. Nothing complex just quick effective results, so each member can win leadership at every level of the company.Read their story
