To ensure a constant supply, Bells Pure Ice has nine company-owned manufacturing plants capable of producing more than 1,200 tonnes of ice daily.
Each of these plants has on-site cold storage facilities and together with Bells Pure Ice standalone Cold Storage warehouses, allows Bells Pure Ice to store in excess of 16,000 pallets of ice at any one time.
This large-scale production and storage allows us to provide national distribution coverage for major retailers including 7-Eleven, Ampol Australia, BP, BWS, Caltex, Chevron Australia, Coles, Coles Express, Dan Murphy’s, EG Group, Endeavour Drinks (BWS and Dan Murphy’s), First Choice Liquor, Freedom Fuels, Liquorland, Puma Energy, Viva Energy and Woolworths.
Bells Pure Ice was the first ice company in Australia to successfully operate multi-site production and distribution facilities.
To meet our customers' requests we have grown to a national operation over the last 20 years. This is via organic growth, customer requests and the successful amalgamation of a number of other ice suppliers - one of which has been in operation since 1926.
Bells Pure Ice now has a substantial network of infrastructure assets.
Always at the forefront of innovation, Bells Pure Ice has invested in cutting-edge technology to provide customers with a seamless ordering and delivery experience.
Robots are used in the manufacturing process ensuring all ice is made to HACCP certification standards.
Our innovation is combined with an integrated CRM, logistics and accounting system which manages the user experience from placing orders to invoicing at the time of delivery.
Bells Pure Ice IT systems are staffed by a team across Australia, who make a vital contribution to the operation of our business. Innovation is necessary to facilitate national coverage of DIFOT efficiency.
As an ever-evolving company, we are committed to developing new and innovative products such as Bells' Ice CupsTM, which earned Bells Pure Ice the 7-Eleven ‘Innovative Thinking’ award in 2017.
The award is described as “acknowledging those suppliers that develop and implement initiatives which provide innovative solutions for new and existing business needs, adding value to the 7-Eleven business”.
Bells' Ice Cups™ are takeaway cups pre-filled with ice, hygienically sealed, naturally resistant to heat and easily transported. 7-Eleven was the first major chain to take up the product packaging for their exclusive 7-Eleven Iced Coffees.
