Report # 2037 102a Date: 24/8/01 Status: Constantly sourcing equipment; wishes to see what NZ companies have on offer.
Eski Ice Pty Ltd. is a private company involved in the manufacturing and marketing of ice for over 30 years. For most of this time they have operated the only commercial ice plant in Tasmania, servicing such industries as fishing, poultry and smallgoods. Natural spring water from Tasmania`s Great Western Tiers is the source of both Diamond Ice and Diamond Still Springwater. Eski Ice instigated the sales of domestic party and picnic ice throughout some 300
outlets statewide by supplying their
own
ice storage cabinets. Present capacity measures in excess of 40 tones
per
day output, utilising modern computerised automatic ice making and
packaging equipment. They also manage their own public cold storage
facility.
Today we contacted the General Manager of Eski Ice, John Gall, who was
interested in our call. Gall said his company is constantly outlaying
large
sums of money each week purchasing new equipment. He said he would be
very
interested in seeing what is available from NZ companies in the way of
the
following equipment:
* Compressors
* Refrigeration/ Cool Room Equipment
* Freezer Rooms
* SS Fabrication
* Bottling Machinery
* Packaging
As well as outlaying large sums of money for ongoing refrigeration
equipment, Gall said they are planning on sourcing some new packaging
technology, so he would be interested in speaking to NZ companies regarding
this.
