ARCTIC ICE COMPANY LTD

What ARCTIC ICE COMPANY LTD does

ARCTIC ICE COMPANY LTD was a privately-held regional ice products and industrial cleaning services company headquartered at 3441 Georgia Pacific Avenue, Mobile, Alabama. The business produced and distributed wet ice at 90 tons per day across bags, containers, and loose formats, and supplied dry ice through both retail and wholesale channels, primarily through local route sales covering southern Alabama, coastal Mississippi, and the Florida panhandle. The company also rented two special event ice trailers (1,800 lb and 5,000 lb capacities) and sold new and used dry ice blasting equipment as an authorized representative of Cryogenesis.

The company's industrial service line centered on dry ice blasting/cleaning using FDA-grade Mic-Rice CO2 pellets, a non-destructive, chemical-free process that combines kinetic energy, thermal differential shock, and reverse fracturing to remove coatings and contaminants without secondary waste. The dry ice cleaning method is approved by the EPA and meets USDA and FDA guidelines, positioning the service as a regulatory-compliant alternative to sandblasting and chemical cleaning for industrial and manufacturing customers.

The business operated with approximately 6 employees and generated revenue through four streams: wet ice sales, dry ice blasting services, equipment and supplies sales (including used equipment trade-ins), and special event trailer rentals. Pricing was unit-based, with retail dry ice at $0.55–$2.00 per pound for small quantities and volume discounts at 100+ pounds; a 25% manufacturer-imposed price increase applied during active storms. As of December 31, 2017, the company was sold and its website directs inquiries to the new owners, indicating it no longer operates as an independent entity.

• Linde: Global industrial gas company producing dry ice alongside its core atmospheric and process gas businesses. Broad incumbent in the dry ice market with national distribution capabilities that dwarf Arctic Ice's regional footprint.
• Air Products: Major global industrial gas company with dry ice production capabilities as part of its broader gas portfolio. Overlaps with Arctic Ice in dry ice production and distribution but operates at far greater scale across multiple gas products.
