Client from the Philippines
Lito Mendez is a seafood wholesaler and ice supplier from Manila, Philippines. When he searched for a commercial seafood-specific commercial ice block machine on Google, he found Foodline’s official website. He based his decision on our good reputation and many genuineness to buy our block ice machine. He uses it for two main purposes: first, to keep his daily seafood stock fresh; second, to sell the produced block ice to local restaurants, wet markets, and construction sites.
Lito, a seafood wholesaler from the Philippines, had three big problems before buying our machine: the high cost of buying ice from outside, no ice supply during peak seasons, and a seafood waste rate as high as 40%. After he bought Foodline’s 1-ton block ice machine, everything changed. The machine is easy to operate and needs no full-time staff to watch. It produces a stable 1 ton of ice every day, with 30% higher efficiency than before. Finally, his seafood waste rate dropped by 40% directly. He earns an extra net profit of $1,400 every month and has gotten back all his investment in only 6 months. All his core business pain points are completely solved.
Customer Real Feedback
“Before I bought Foodline’s machine, I was always stressed about ice supply in peak seasons. Now I can make ice whenever I need. The ice is super hard, melts 2x slower than the ice I bought before. My seafood waste dropped by 40%, and I even make extra money selling ice to other businesses. This machine is the best investment I’ve made this year!”— Lito Mendez, Manila, Philippines
