Frank J. Zamboni & Co. Inc. is a company founded by Frank J. Zamboni in 1950 with headquarters in Paramount , USA . Zamboni invented, built and sold the first modern ice resurfacing machines for ice rinks. These machines made it possible to artificially produce and smooth the ice. Until then, the ice rinks were dependent on the weather, or the ice had to be worked by a large number of workers.
Today Zamboni is a synonym for ice processing and the associated machines.
Trivia
In the computer game Plants vs. Zombies (Plants vs. Zombies), there is a character, the Zomboni , a zombie who drives an ice machine with a big Z on the hood. The plant and zombie lexicon in the game refers to the approval of the Zamboni company and its website.
