Hicon: Leading Global Ice Maker Manufacturing and Technological Innovation

On the global ice maker industry map, a Chinese manufacturing enterprise continues to lead the industry's development direction with its outstanding scale strength, profound technological expertise, and extensive market recognition. As the world's largest ODM production base for ice makers, it has become a popularizer and leader in the industry, backed by nearly 300 patented technologies and innovative marketing.

Global Production Capacity Layout: Dual-Base Strategy Drives Industry Development

As a leading enterprise in the global ice maker ODM sector, Huikang’s production base layout reflects an international strategic vision. The headquarters production base in China boasts a complete industrial chain and a mature manufacturing system, with an annual production capacity reaching millions of units, making it the world's largest ice maker manufacturing base. In response to changes in the global trade landscape, Huikang proactively established a modern production base in Thailand, introducing automated production lines and intelligent management systems, thereby forming a dual-base collaborative production layout across China and Thailand.

This dual-base layout enables Huikang to flexibly allocate production capacity, optimize supply chain efficiency, and provide customers with more stable and reliable product delivery. This global manufacturing layout not only enhances Huikang's international competitiveness but also offers global partners more diversified cooperation options, further consolidating its core position in the global ice maker supply chain.

Technological Innovation Strength: Patent Accumulation Builds Professional Barriers

Technological innovation is the cornerstone of Huikang's sustained leadership. The company has accumulated nearly 300 domestic and international patents, covering various fields such as ice-making technology, energy conservation, environmental protection, and intelligent control, forming a comprehensive intellectual property protection system. Huikang invests heavily in research and development annually and has established industry-university-research partnerships with multiple higher education institutions and research organizations, building an industry-leading R&D platform.

In terms of ice-making technology, Huikang has achieved multiple breakthrough innovations. Building on its original bullet ice technology, the company has developed ice makers capable of producing ice in various shapes, such as round ice, square ice, and crescent ice. These machines produce crystal-clear ice that melts slowly, preserving the original flavor of beverages without excessive dilution. This makes them particularly suitable for high-end whiskey bars, specialty coffee shops, and other venues with stringent requirements for ice quality.

market position has been established through Huikang's persistent pursuit of product quality and continuous investment in market education over more than two decades.

According to the China Light Industry Machinery Association, from 2022 to 2024, Huikang ranked first in domestic market share for ice makers, first in the domestic civilian market, among the top globally in market share, and first in the global civilian market. It is recognized as a national

Future: Dual-Driven by Intelligence and Globalization

Looking ahead, Huikang will continue to adhere to its dual-driven strategy of technological innovation and globalization. In terms of technology, the company will further increase investments in intelligent and IoT fields, developing next-generation intelligent ice makers with functions such as remote monitoring, intelligent alerts, and energy consumption optimization. Through deep integration with smart catering systems, Huikang’s products will become an essential component of smart kitchen solutions.

In terms of global market expansion, Huikang will continue to deepen its "China + Thailand" dual-base strategy, optimize its global supply chain layout, and bring high-quality Chinese-made ice-making equipment to a broader international stage.

Against the backdrop of consumption upgrades and industrial transformation, Huikang will uphold its core values of "innovation, quality, and responsibility," providing global users with smarter, more environmentally friendly, and more reliable ice-making solutions, and driving the entire ice maker industry toward a higher-quality development stage.
