145 tons
On average, each one of Home City Ice's plants can produce up to 145 tons of ice a day. That's equivalent to 15 elephants. Combine all 31 production facilities and that's 4,500 tons a DAY or about 1,000 elephants!
25 miles
Almost 80% of the customers we service are within a 25 mile radius of a distribution point allowing for quick, reliable and efficient service.
33 facilities
Home City Ice operates 33 facilities across 12 states. No one facility represents more than 5% of HCI's total capacity allowing for a reliable source of supply in case of mechanical failure, power outage or water advisories.
100%
In 2010, over 400 packaged ice production facilities were inspected by NSF certified inspectors and only 25 received perfect scores of 100%. Home City Ice was awarded 11 of the 25 perfect scores.
82 freezers
Home City Ice stocks up on ice in 82 freezers across the region, so you don't run out of ice.
7 days a week
Our production facilities are up and running every day of the week and even sometimes through the night. That's to make sure you get as much ice as you need when you need it.
1000 pounds
Home City Ice can produce bags of ice as small as 3 lbs, and as large as 1000 lbs. Whoa, now that's a big bag of ice!
725 vehicles
Home City Ice has a fleet of over 725 vehicles available to serve our customers every day of the year.
4th of July
Going into the 4th of July Holiday, Home City Ice will have almost 20,000 pallets of finished product available for immediate distribution to our customers.
It Floats
Did you know that water is the only known substance where the solid state (ice) will float in the liquid state (water)?
38x
Did you know that it takes 1 calorie of energy to reduce one gram of water one degree, but it takes 38x that amount of energy to turn one gram of water into one gram of ice?
Carbon Footprint
Our unique production methods, the location of our distribution points, and our state of the art routing technologies allow HCI to have one of the smallest carbon footprints per unit in the packaged ice industry.
Natural Filtration
Our unique freezing process creates ice that is more pure than the water it's made from. It's called "natural filtration".
1924
