KLYR Hielo & Agua

What KLYR Hielo & Agua does

KLYR Hielo & Agua (Productos KLYR S.A. de C.V.) is a privately held Mexican company headquartered in Guadalajara, Jalisco, that produces and distributes ice and bottled water. The business traces to the first ice factory in Guadalajara, founded in 1931, and operates today under two divisions: KLYR Hielo (ice production and distribution) and KLYR Agua (garrafón / water jug delivery). Ice is produced using a reverse osmosis water purification system combined with direct ozone contact and ultraviolet light disinfection, all within a food-grade controlled production environment. The product range spans retail-sized bags (3kg, 5kg, 15kg rollito; 5kg gourmet cubes), 50mm gourmet spheres, 70kg full bars (also sold by halves or quarters), and frappe-style crushed ice.

The company runs a hybrid go-to-market model: a B2B corporate water delivery subscription service (garrafones delivered 365 days a year, with the first jug provided free on loan, rack loans, and customized credit terms) sits alongside retail ice sales at the production plant, wholesale distribution to bars, restaurants, banquet companies, convenience stores (including Circle K), supermarkets, entertainment venues (including Cinépolis), and event organizers, plus a B2C home delivery service with a 650 peso minimum purchase. A third revenue stream — refrigerated warehouse rental — leverages the legacy cold-chain infrastructure dating to the founding facility. Distribution reaches customers through direct sales, plant retail, wholesale channels, and on-demand platforms such as Rappi Turbo, with marketing and order capture handled primarily through the company website, phone, and WhatsApp. The geographic footprint is concentrated in Jalisco state.
