“Looking at historical data of product reliability, consistency in quality, and performance, we decided to use c3 components for all of our new portfolio of machines.”

Ice House America (IHA), based in Moultrie, GA, revolutionized the retail ice industry starting in 2004 with a new wave of engineering, manufacturing, and innovative ice vending technology. Today, IHA is the largest manufacturer and owner/operator of ice vending machines in the world. They have produced thousands of machines and collectively generate more than one billion pounds of high-quality ice each year.

c3controls has been partnered with IHA since the beginning. “Since our very first machine in 2004, c3controls products have always been an integral part of our machines” says Manoj Tadhani, IHA’s VP of Engineering & Operations. IHA has used brands such as Siemens and Eaton, but choose c3 in all of their new products because they believe that “c3controls adds more value with higher quality at significantly less cost” adds Tadhani.

IHA uses general purpose relays, overload relays, contactors, terminal blocks, push buttons, disconnect switches, miniature circuit breakers, and more from the 17+ million product configurations from c3controls. Since 2004, IHA has never had to use c3controls’ lifetime warranty but consistently benefit from same-day shipping and a direct manufacturer relationship. IHA is a brand advocate and Tadhani mentions “after hearing how well c3 components and technical support have worked for us, one of our suppliers started using c3.”
