ITV ICE MAKERS / Spain

ITV is a family owned company, that has been manufacturing ice machines for 40 years. The company was founded by Octavio Cordon, a refrigeration engineer that worked for the biggest refrigeration company in Spain at the time. In those years, most ice machines arrived to Spain from the US, at a very high cost, and with duties to be paid. Octavio had the vision of manufacturing ice machines within the company he worked for, but the owners wouldn’t hear of it. Sales were soaring, as Spain tourism industry was growing double digit, and thousands of restaurants, hotels and bars, needed refrigeration equipment.
