Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy ice cubes and crushed ice?

Why buy ice cubes instead of making them yourself?

Of course, you can also make your own ice cubes in the freezer. Still, there are many advantages to buying professionally made ice cubes. For example, consider the following:

Homemade ice cubes	Ice cubes from Icefactory Europe
Depending on the quality of the tap water	Double controlled water quality
Limited quantity possible	Unlimited production capacity
Always watery drinks	Slow melting to last extra long
Influence on the taste of drinks	100% pure
Limited options in terms of shape and never clear	Different forms and even customization possible
Transmission of bacteria by touching hands	Produced and packaged completely hands-free

Are ice cubes safe and healthy?

A custom-built water treatment plant in our factory ensures a quality finished product. The supplied drinking water is checked both internally and by an accredited lab, even before a single ice cube is produced from it. Moreover, our entire production and packaging process is 100% hands-free. Because of this, among other things, all of our products meet international food safety standards.

Is it environmentally friendly to transport ice by road?

Icefactory Europe works with the largest logistics players in Europe, who specialize in active refrigerated transport. They travel daily between many European countries, and thanks to our products, there are never empty trucks driving back to Norway, for example, to then export fish to Belgium. In addition, our carriers are always looking for a way to drive “cleaner” and are looking for electric and hydrogen solutions.

Available Everywhere

Our ice cubes can be found at most supermarkets and wholesalers, but also for example in gas stations and of course in our own Ice Shop in Beerse. Useful for home users or for the professional client who is just a little out of the loop.

Fast delivery

We supply ice cubes and crushed ice with our freezer trucks to catering businesses, events, festivals and (private) parties. Our principle: ordered today is delivered the day after tomorrow! Individuals can also take advantage of a prompt delivery service or pick up themselves.

Ecologically responsible

Icefactory Europe continues to innovate to deliver the greenest product possible. We produce our ice cubes with the natural refrigerant NH3, operate energy efficiently thanks to solar panels and use modern techniques/materials to insulate our cold. An underground storage also provides a buffer of 3,600m³ of rainwater, so we do not have to use potable water for our cooling systems.

Always in stock

Since 2023, our production has been located on the former site of IJsboerke. On a total area of no less than 15,000 m2 we can produce large volumes. In our state-of-the-art & automated freezing hall, we store +5,000 pallets of ice cubes and crushed ice, so we never run out of stock.
