About
Paragon International is an American concession and manufacturing company based in Nevada Iowa. Paragon designs, manufactures and assembles the market's finest popcorn, cotton candy and snow cone machines, and other innovative concession equipment and supplies. Further, Paragon executes a global sourcing strategy - meaning we utilize a procurement strategy wherein goods and services are sourced from the global market to obtain the highest levels of efficiency possible. The goal of global sourcing is to lower production costs while maintaining the exacting quality standards required for products and services. Once sourced, Paragon incorporates some of the foreign parts and components into products at our U.S. manufacturing plant. And we back it all up with a competitive warranty and a prompt, friendly U.S. based customer service team.
Why Paragon?
Quality Over Quantity
Rather than manufacturing dozens of different models, we offer select, top-quality models and sizes at price points that suit all customers' needs for concessions. Supplies are available to meet all customers’ needs, while still remaining at the highest quality.
Function and Price
With Paragon concession equipment, you don't sacrifice quality or function for price. Every popcorn, snow cone and cotton candy machine we make is solidly constructed, user friendly, safe - and priced competitively.
Machines for Everyone
We have models and sizes for every use. Many businesses use our concessions supplies and equipment as a profit center, offering popcorn, cotton candy or snow cones for sale. Our 4 ounce popper is extremely popular as a home theater popcorn machine, while the larger popcorn machines - 8 ounce up to 20 ounce - make excellent choices for larger entertainment venues from schools to theaters or stadiums.
