Eastern Ice

Eastern Ice Company Inc is a leading ice manufacturer and distributor serving the New England region, with operations spanning Southern Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Rhode Island, and Eastern Connecticut. The company operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in the Fall River Industrial Park, a modern 25,500 square foot plant capable of... producing up to 220 tons of ice per day. Eastern Ice's operations represent the evolution of a multi-generational family business with roots dating back to 1918, when the original Brockton Ice & Coal company began harvesting ice from local ponds including Flagg Pond and D.W. Field Park. The business was formalized in 1928 with the construction of a 50-ton block ice plant in Brockton, Massachusetts. Following a transition in 1965, the company was renamed The Ice House and subsequently expanded through the acquisition of Eastern Ice Company's Newport, Rhode Island facility in 1971, which operated a 60-ton block ice plant primarily serving the fishing industry. Under current ownership and operation, the company has grown substantially from its initial capacity of a 100-pound cube cutter to its present production capability of 220 tons daily. The company's primary customer base includes the commercial fishing industry, food service operations, and regional distribution networks throughout New England. Eastern Ice Company Inc distinguishes itself through significant operational scale, modern manufacturing infrastructure, and reliable regional distribution logistics. The company's competitive advantages include substantial daily production capacity, a strategically located facility designed for efficiency, and established market presence across multiple states in the Northeast. The combination of historical operational expertise, family-driven management, and investment in contemporary manufacturing technology positions Eastern Ice as a prominent regional supplier within the ice production and distribution sector.Read More
