What is Arctic Ice?
Founded in 1966 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Arctic Ice has evolved into a critical infrastructure provider for ice distribution throughout Missouri and Western Illinois. The company distinguishes itself through a sophisticated, fully automated ice packaging and palletizing system, which ensures product integrity by eliminating human contact during the manufacturing process. Beyond its core product offerings—which include cube, block, and dry ice—Arctic Ice maintains a robust logistics network supported by a fleet of 25 refrigerated trucks. This operational efficiency allows the company to provide consistent, seven-day-a-week service to a diverse client base, ranging from retail outlets to large-scale special events requiring specialized refrigeration trailers and ice box merchandisers.
