Working together, we can fix things ourselves.

Every once in a while, there’s a wonderful event that pulls people together. When a collaborative effort is made for the benefit of a large group of people who tend to work together anyway, things change for the better…and the future.

Jamais Cascio, a San Francisco-based author and founder of Worldchanging, said this: “Nobody’s going to fix the world for us, but working together, making use of technological innovations and human communities alike, we might just be able to fix it ourselves.”

On October 27th, in Orlando, just such an event will take place when eight associations around the country and the world come together for the IPIA Grand Event. A collaboration by the IPIA and seven regional associations will bring you a huge offering of events, information, community and technology that shouldn’t be missed.

Just a smatter of topics to be presented by effective speakers are: food safety, family business, off season opportunities, regulations on ice, and keynote speaker Robin Crow’s “Evolve or Die.” There is so much more and it would just be repeated here, so look through these pages for information on this once-in-adecade convention, and go to www.packagedice.org for the registration and brochure. Call Jane McEwen for any questions at 813-258-1690 or email her directly at jane@packagedice.com.

Speaking of Jane, we spoke to her at length about her group’s work and initiatives with food safety and water quality. Foregoing the traditional style of Q&A interviews, our conversation with Jane just reinforced our conviction that the IPIA is an association for all members of the packaged ice industry, and worth the investment. They are working with technology and communities to keep us moving and thriving - two goals we have for ourselves as individuals and as companies. Then on page 10, our good friends at Nuzzolese and Arctic let us in on some interesting news. It may be ‘old’ news by this printing, but our exclusive with Nuzzolese is hot off the press and worth a read.

I think it’s been a great summer and can’t wait to hear from you about your ‘higher than last year’ sales numbers. Please contact me at refrigerationmag@gmail.com when you have a minute. Let me know how you’re doing. I’ll print your comments on the website, our facebook page, and in the next issue.

And thank you to Hawaiian Ice, Home City Ice, Nuzzolese Brothers and Brookline Ice and Coal for sending Refrigeration Magazine photos when we reached out. It’s astounding to me that in this big, busy, scary world, we can ask the ice industry for a favor, and it comes to us in a flash. There’s not many industries who can boast that. BUT WE CAN. As a group, we obviously can do much of anything.

Thank you !

Now We’re All Looking at The Palms of Our Hands (Editor’s Note: With the massive market saturation of smart phones, no wonder we all walk around looking at something in our hand.

These figures show that smart phones, after a relatively fast start, have also outpaced nearly any comparable technology in the leap to mainstream use. This year, I have vowed to use my ‘regular’ digital camera a little more. At least it will liberate me from my work tool. I dislike taking group photos with my phone, mainly because I don’t want something that small to be responsible for almost everything I do.)

It took landline telephones about 45 years to get from 5 percent to 50 percent penetration among U.S. households, and mobile phones took around seven years to reach a similar proportion of consumers.

Smart phones have gone from 5 percent to 40 percent in about four years, despite a recession.

In the comparison shown, the only technology that moved as quickly to the U.S. mainstream was television between 1950 and 1953.

Success story

Regional Independent Shows That Local Knowledge Can Be Bigger Than National Strength

T

he New York metropolitan market is unique among American centers of commerce. It’s the biggest in population and dollar volume for most things, and it’s spread across a vast area that includes parts of three states, separated by significant bodies of water in many spots. Manhattan Island is its own challenge. There are limited ways to drive there, they all charge tolls which are higher for trucks, you can’t park, and there are few drive-up loading docks. It’s a tough market to operate in, and even tougher to enter against an existing competitor.

Enter the new player, Winnipeg, Manitoba’s Arctic Glacier. The largest packaged ice producer in Canada, its plants and accounts also spread across a northern swath of the U.S., and it wanted a piece of the New York market. Going up against entrenched competitors, Artic Glacier bought some production plants in three locations well outside the New York City delivery area, as well as one in the Bronx, one of New York’s five boroughs. The problem was, it wasn’t making inroads. It had accounts and facilities, but it wasn’t effectively servicing this complex market.

So Arctic Glacier lived up to an old maxim: If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. It negotiated with a company with a strong history in the market, solid financials, and a good book of accounts. Its pitch wasn’t the usual consolidator line, “Sell us your company and we’ll make sure you have enough money to retire well, plus we’ll keep your business going.”

This time it was more like, “We’re a strong company everywhere we are. You’re a strong company in this 10 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ August 2014

market. How can we make something work for both of us?”

About a third of the way out the length of Long Island, Nuzzolese Brothers established themselves in the ice delivery business in 1928, four generations ago. The area was already densely populated, and the brothers delivered ice from their Hicksville location as far as Queens and Brooklyn. The company has grown with the market and today serves the entire region, from Northern New Jersey to Manhattan and Staten Island, Westchester County, Southern Connecticut, and all of Long Island.

They have the routes. They have the trucks. They have the long time staff who knows how to deal with the unique issues of operating in the area.

In what appears to be a unique arrangement in the packaged ice industry, Nuzzolese Brothers is becoming the sole distributor for packaged ice from the Arctic Glacier system in the New York area. And unlike a typical market that any of the industry players enters (Reddy or Home City), the bigger

company is rebranding to the local one. “The trucks will say Nuzzolese, the bags will say Nuzzolese. Arctic will be a hidden player, and nobody will know that it exists anymore,” says the fourth generation of Nuzzolese, Vinny Jr. “We own the customer base and all the merchandisers. We own all the distribution end of it.”

A big player in a market should be able to get accounts. It may have national supermarket chains, big box stores, even concrete production. It has efficient production and should be able to shave a few pennies or a dime off the prevailing price. What explains why a company that’s successful in other markets wouldn’t be here?

The New York market, Vinny Nuzzolese says, “has got to be more of a hands on approach. We call all of our customers every week, and when we go to a stop we know we’re bringing at least 10 bundles.” The company doesn’t rely on a route map, with drivers making regular stops along the way. “We never once have the same route. We service customers on demand. If they call before noon, they get ice the same day.”

He says the reason for the agreement is obvious: “They wanted to partner with us because our distribution is so good. We don’t have to do the corporate things that they have to.

It’s not really going to change our business, except that we’re obviously out of production.” We’ll come back to the production topic.

The predominant truck in the fleet is a standard 24 footer, but efficiency is further increased with a customized pallet. “We run half size pallets with a liftgate, so we don’t need loading docks,” he tells us. Each 26 x 36 pallet holds 216 packages, or 27 bundles, and weights about 1,000 pounds. If a stop doesn’t need a whole pallet, they can

AMMONIA PARTS take some of the bundles of 8. If an account isn’t low, they don’t get a stop.

FARLEYS FRIGERATION

With a complex routing system, driver education is a huge factor. Vinny offers that “We have good stability on drivers. One driver has been with us for 30+ years.”

They’re a good employer and employee loyalty reflects this. Their route system also means they have a variety of trucks, including some non-CDL. Servicing a three state area with many border crossings, most of the fleet is CDL. What Arctic is providing to the deal, in addition to its accounts, is full responsibility for production. Modern Ice is contracted to Arctic to build a new 450 ton plant, expandable to 600. The plant will include robotics, a full heat seal system, and is expected to be as stateof-the-art as possible in the industry. Nuzzolese’ primary package is a five pound, and they also offer 10 lb, 20 lb, and bundles of 40 lbs.

The company owns distribution sites in Southampton, NY, and is setting up a new distribution warehouse Brooklyn. While refrigerated space is widely available in Brooklyn, there’s a typical New York problem in siting the warehouse. “The building is no problem,” says Vinny. “It’s the parking. There has to be room for all the trucks, and that’s hard to find.”

Nuzzolese’ account book is a typical mix of packaged ice customers - large stores, supermarket chains, drugstores. Surprisingly, even with their hands-on approach, Vinny says “The mom & pop stores we don’t have.” Whether they’re too small to support their own merchandisers, they don’t sell enough, or they bag their own is anyone’s guess.

Vinny characterizes the distribution agreement as a true win-win. “Neither one of us sold out - it’s a joint venture. Arctic is rebranding to Nuzzolese.” Bet his great grandfather didn’t see that one coming.

IPIA Intitiatives in Food Safety and Water Quality Raise the Whole Industry

B

esides industry loyalty and devotion, IPIA has been and continues to work for preserving and increasing market possibilities. They are well-organized and here for the long haul. That’s why the IPIA has launched an initiative to better regulate the quality of packaged ice. As the seasoned industry we are, we should be able to take a bite from the customer base that has drifted toward the back room ice makers. That’s a probable market that could belong to the ice manufacturer.

I’m all for free enterprise, but when safety is as big an issue as it is with our industry and the contamination possibilities that exist from outside ice makers, we have to stay vigil and work even harder to carry the message.

When I spoke with Jane McEwen, longtime Executive Director of IPIA, and shared these very words, she replied, “Case in point with the scientific research results from the University of Georgia study on the microbial quality of packaged ice conducted in 2013.” As the IPIA has been in front of many state food safety officials and the FDA over the past few years, the clear message we received from their frequently asked question, ‘Where are the statistics?’ was that we had to have scientific data showing that there is a problem in the market with microbial contamination of packaged ice. The UGA study clearly showed that there was a problem with the microbial quality of packaged ice produced at the retail and vending level, yet none with the IPIA Member ice tested. (See more of this in Refrigeration’s July issue on p.13.)

IPIA Grand Event WE’RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS FOR THIS ONE

RM

The ice producer is very protective of their independence and autonomy. Any government involvement may turn some potential members away from joining an association that works so closely with regulatory groups. Can you touch on this?

Whether for better or worse, only regulations and oversight can hold producers accountable for producing safe products following management’s unbending commitment to producing a safe product. IPIA ice producer members realize that although they proudly fall under PIQCS oversight and will fall under the Food Safety Modernization Act oversight when fully implemented, if we don’t show the regulatory community our unbending commitment to food safety, how can we expect them to press forward with consistent standards and oversight of the thousands of retail producers and vending machines producing packaged ice? The ultimate goal is safe ice for the consumer.

RM

What should every packaged ice manufacturer be concerned with as far as safety and contamination go?

Safety and contamination cover a broad spectrum from employee hygiene (hair and beard nets), to no hands touching the ice, to documented plant and transport sanitation and documented cleaning and sanitizing activities on a pre-determined basis based on validation.

Recall plans, security, date and lot coding for traceability and finished product testing/source water testing are important, too. Finally, an effective HACCP plan is

Just a sampling of the Grand Event follows in the next few pages. For the full story, go to www.packagedice.org.

absolutely crucial. FDA inspections now mandated could help (albeit inconsistent and infrequent) to ensure manufacturing facilities are producing a safe, quality product for the consumer but, sadly, FDA inspections do not cover vending machines or the retail environment.

RM

What got you to the ‘Ice Is Food’ (TM) slogan, and how has it changed things for our industry?

When we kicked off our GR effort in 2007, we realized quickly that the FDA, whom we have met with many times, really didn’t acknowledge publicly that ice is a food.

(Even) in general, at the state level, (it was the same response). So, we began refining our food safety mantra and with a lot of input from our Government Relations and Strategic Planning Committee, ”Ice is Food” was born and incorporated into our trademarked logo. It conveys not only to regulatory and food safety officials, but also to consumers, that ice as a food product can be contaminated if not manufactured and handled with safety standards in place (PIQCS). We are now focusing more on the Ice is Food message getting into the hearts and minds of consumers. In addition to an aggressive social media campaign, we have launched a new, consumer-focused website called “safeice.org” for consumers to find out additional information about ice safety.

“[The “Ice is Food” tagline] conveys not only to regulatory and food safety officials, but also to consumers, that ice as a food product can be contaminated if not manufacturered and handled with safety standards in place (PIQCS). We are now focusing more on the Ice is Food message getting into the hearts and minds of consumers.”

– Jane McEwen, IPIA Executive Director

IPIA Grand Event

RM

Can we make our case less political (ice man to ice man) and pitch the “Ice Is Food”™ campaign to family safety?

We pitch a safe ice product for the family to consume all the time.

RM

Can we use a case in which someone has died from contaminated back room or ice vending ice, and name a law in honor of that person?

There was a recent death of a hospital patient whereby the ice chips were the culprit. As you know though, because ice is generally not even thought of in food contamination investigations, our profile is quite low when it comes to food contamination. Even the CDC acknowledges that on its investigation template, ice or the ice machine is not noted.

RM

Is it against the law to post photos of bacteria and other contamination photos in strategic places to remind the consumer to consider safety first?

These types of photos are posted on various websites, usually companies that perform ice machine cleaning and sanitizing services.

RM

I don’t think there is any argument that fair and consistent packaged ice standards for ALL packaged ice producers, retail, wholesale and vending is necessary.

We don’t believe this is an argument within our industry, but regulators still see it a bit differently. The FDA oversees Food Processing regulations of which our wholesale ice producers fall under as stated in the GMP’s in the Code of Federal Regulations. Retail establishments such as Convenience Stores and Vending machines fall under the FDA Food Code of which the states implement as to their needs. Thus the conundrum in efforts for us. Our regulatory outreach at the federal and state level has been ongoing since 2007. We have had success with certain members of Congress encouraging the FDA to look into our issues. That pressure from Congress did lead to the FDA to publish a “Food Fact Sheet” on packaged ice but much more needs to be done.

14 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ August 2014

We also give presentations at state annual health and environmental meetings, and we have a Day on the Hill every other year to keep our issues in front of our representatives. We attend the major food safety conferences, AFDO, IAFP and most recently the CFP (Conference of Food Protection) where we had success with our submissions. This is a huge accomplishment. The food safety arena is ‘family’ too, so gaining respect with them takes time and lots of it.

RM

IPIA has always taken food safety seriously.

The programs and efforts cost money. They should. Anything worthwhile takes time and investment.

I would like to see more ice producers joining IPIA. It will only be of benefit to them, and to IPIA’s momentum and direction.

We keep at it, Mary. We are in this for the long haul. The IPIA has a membership base dedicated to our Food Safety mission. And yes, our Public Affairs and Food Safety programs cost time and money for our members and the IPIA. We are all cognizant of this and continually strive for an educated audience of consumers and food safety officials as to our issues and the value of the IPIA logo. Obviously we believe IPIA membership brings any ice producer value and the industry value as the IPIA continues to move forward with its mission.

RM

It never hurts to be reminded of some of the real issues. We focus on getting through each day with too much work and not enough help, too much to worry about and not enough support. A common cause like this could actually help us all to find more business, more support, and a fellowship of survival.

A united industry is a determined industry.

Determination leads to broad support of industry causes and even to ‘survival.’

When non-members express frustration with back room icemakers and vending units not being inspected, much less meeting any form of consistent food safety standards for packaged ice production, yet don’t want to join in with our efforts, it’s disappointing.

Our doors are open to anyone wanting to be a part of the proud IPIA family, one that is proud of our food safety standards (PIQCS), one that is advocating for its member companies, one that markets its members ice products, and one that truly knows that we are and can make a difference for the packaged ice industry.

ICE TRUCK HAS A New Meaning For Ontario Producer

and Canadian Auto Supply (Increases Battery Sales, Too!)

E

verybody who buys trucks has an opinion – some swear

by Ford, others Dodge, or maybe an import. Canadian Tire, a coast to coast full service auto parts & service chain with no locations south of the U.S. border, and IceCulture of Hensall, Ontario, have another idea.

Part of the Canadian national identity is the toughness to thrive through the country’s brutal winters. What better symbol could you imagine than a pickup truck made of pure ice blocks?

IceCulture teamed with Canadian Tire’s marketing department to assemble and sculpt an entire actual body from 300 lb (136 kg) Clinebell blocks atop a running pickup chassis salvaged from a wreck. Components of the truck were welded solid to minimize flex and avoid cracking the ice body.

IceCulture took on the challenge, proving that in motorsports, it’s not just competitions that get the adrenalin pumping! They managed to create three full-size, drivable ice trucks in 21 days, in addition to processing their regular Christmas, New Year and winter carnival orders.

The first challenge was simply to build a drivable ice pick-up truck for testing and customer approval. They needed to encase the engine compartment in ice and drive the engine/ chassis to test the effect of heat. The second truck was used for a 60 second television commercial promoting the

22 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ August 2014

Ice in marketing Technical information Overall weight per truck: 15,000 lbs Total Blocks: 200+ Clinebells (two trucks, engine testing, replacement components, etc.)

Time: 21 days start to finish with significant overtime

Iceculture staff – up to 10 in the studio and 6 on site

for the shoot. That’s an adrenaline rush!

Motomaster Eliminator battery, which works in temperatures of – 40° C (the scales meet here: it’s also -40° F).

Add the challenge of meeting the needs of a film director and video crew for the commercial and associated videos, a PR company courting a national newspaper auto writer who had ideas of his own, and you have a recipe for an exciting, but somewhat stressful, project. To complicate matters, the truck had to be transported to a location 150 miles away, then back to the Hensall studio to be re-built for a police-escorted road run. And immediately following, had to be driven to another location to be melted down over a period of 40 hours plus, for time-lapsed photography.

Finally, IceCulture built a third ice truck to try and make the Guinness Book of World Records.

“

The “Ice Truck” campaign has boosted sales on car batteries at Canadian Tire by more than 50% over the previous year.

Whining achieves nothing, so bite the bullet, and in the oft-spoken words of Larry, the Cable Guy - Get ‘er done! Was the project successful?

Watch the commercials and the videos and judge for yourself.

Sales of the new battery however, tell the real story: results show that the “Ice Truck” campaign has boosted sales on car batteries at Canadian Tire by more than 50% over the previous year.
