ICE HICOSOL
Our Vision made us grow!
In 1992, our first factory that was dedicated to the manufacturing of flake ice, was born in the Port of Malaga. Hicosol’s great revolution, the one that would lead it to become a leader its sector, did not begin until years later. Manuel Bustos Westendorp, President of the company, invented and patented a new way of producing cubes, pressing the ice. It became a 100% Malagueña patent, making us more efficient and cheaper… and which production makes the ice last longer. Each of the four machines that the company has with this technology is capable of making 2,000 cubes per minute, continuously! By chance, Manuel Bustos, realized that the ice that was pressed during the new manufacturing process took longer to melt. The explanation given by an engineer was that microbubbles of air are created in the middle of each cube that slow down the passage from solid to liquid, when melting. To develop those new machines and start up a factory dedicated only to cubes, millionaire investments were made, which was risky, but it was worth it: in a few years Hicosol expanded to all of Spain, and has turned us into the largest Ice Factory in Spain.
