Follett Corporation is a privately held company that manufacturers beverage and ice solutions for the healthcare, foodservice, hospitality, and supermarket industries. Headquartered in Easton, Pennsylvania, the company operates two manufacturing facilities in Easton and Gdansk, Poland.

In 1948, following World War II, Roy Follett saw an opportunity to fill a need in ice storage. He founded Follett Corporation to "supply ice storage bins to meet the needs of the exploding foodservice industry," according to Thomas R. Cutler.
