Since 1924, family-owned Home City Ice has grown from a Sayler Park, Ohio ice-delivery business into a packaged-ice manufacturer and delivery company serving customers across 25 states. Now in its third generation of leadership, the company is known for freezing filtered water in motion to produce clear, hard-frozen ice and for maintaining a broad network of local plants and delivery routes. Its century-long history includes a pivot from residential block-ice delivery to direct store delivery and large-scale commercial service.
