SUBZERO ICE SERVICES INC

What SUBZERO ICE SERVICES INC does

SubZero Ice Services Inc, operating under the SubZero Dry Ice brand, is a privately held Florida-based supplier of dry ice and complementary cold-chain products and services. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Miami, the company produces and distributes solid dry ice blocks, dry ice pellets (each sold in 40lb boxes), frozen gel packs, and insulated shipping and pre-molded coolers, and offers specialized services including industrial dry-ice blasting, repackaging for perishables, and 24/7 emergency temperature management at Miami International Airport. Its core operations rest on physical production capacity, six strategically located pickup and distribution facilities across Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Fort Myers), Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, and a large delivery fleet that supports same-day delivery within one hour of order placement for customers in the regional service area.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a streamlined direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform (with online ordering, a Dry Ice Calculator, and pay-as-you-go transactions) for individuals and small businesses, and a quote-based sales-led commercial channel with dedicated account management, 24/7 support, and a registered-customer login portal for enterprise and recurring accounts. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (dry ice, gel packs, coolers) and professional services (blasting, repackaging, airport replenishment), with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company serves customers across five primary verticals: food processing and distribution, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and industrial cleaning, events and entertainment, and airport/travel services. It remains independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment, no M&A activity, no patents, and no certifications on record.

Direct peers

• Continental Carbonic Products: Largest independent dry ice manufacturer in North America, producing dry ice pellets, blocks, and slices with nationwide distribution. Directly comparable as a core dry ice producer with similar product lines (pellets, blocks) and delivery logistics serving food, pharma, and industrial customers.
• US Dry Ice Supply: Online direct-to-consumer dry ice retailer shipping pellets and blocks across the continental U.S. Comparable in the e-commerce / direct-ship model for 40 lb boxes, overlapping with SubZero's online ordering and Next-Day Air shipping to non-Florida customers.
• Pacific Dry Ice: Regional dry ice producer and distributor on the U.S. West Coast offering pellets, blocks, and blasting services. Directly comparable in product mix (pellets, blocks, blasting) and customer segments (food, pharma, industrial), though operating in a different geography.
• Reliant Dry Ice: Regional dry ice supplier serving the U.S. South with dry ice blocks and pellets for food service, shipping, and industrial applications. Comparable as a regionally focused dry ice competitor with similar product offerings and customer mix.
• CryoTech Dry Ice: Dry ice and CO2 supplier serving commercial and industrial customers with pellets, blocks, and dry ice blasting services. Comparable in product portfolio and target verticals (food, pharma, industrial cleaning), serving as another independent competitor in the dry ice space.
• Cool Runnings Dry Ice: Independent dry ice supplier offering pellets, blocks, and gel packs for food, pharma, and event customers. Comparable as a small-to-mid dry ice competitor with similar product mix and reliance on commercial cold-chain customers.

Broad incumbents

• Airgas (Air Liquide): Major U.S. industrial gas distributor (now part of Air Liquide) that supplies dry ice along with CO2, nitrogen, and other gases to commercial customers. Overlaps with SubZero's dry ice and CO2-powered cold-chain offering but as part of a much broader industrial gas portfolio.
• Linde (formerly Praxair): Global industrial gases and engineering company providing CO2 and dry ice as part of a wide industrial-gas portfolio. Comparable as a dry ice supplier to food, pharma, and industrial customers, though dry ice is a small slice of a much larger business.

Regional players

• Pelican Ice: Ice and dry ice supplier focused on another U.S. region, serving food service, events, and industrial customers. Comparable product portfolio (traditional ice plus dry ice) with overlapping customer types, though geographically non-overlapping with SubZero.
• Dry Ice Express: Regional dry ice delivery service focused on another U.S. market with on-demand delivery and recurring commercial supply. Comparable business model (regional delivery + commercial accounts) but does not directly overlap geographically with SubZero's Florida/Caribbean territory.
