Why Ice Machine Factories Don't Make Their Own Ice Cup Production Lines

Why Ice Machine Factories Don't Extend To Do Ice Cup Production Line

Manufacturers of ice cup equipment clearly have the core technology and equipment, and it seems that directly producing ice cups is a natural thing. But why do these source manufacturers choose to only sell equipment instead of producing ice cups themselves?

Specialized division of labor improves efficiency

The competitiveness of equipment manufacturers lies in the design, manufacturing, automated control, and technological innovation to produce ice-making equipment with excellent performance in a stable, efficient, and energy-saving manner.

The competitiveness of ice cup manufacturers lies in raw material procurement and management, large-scale production operations, cost control, brand building, channel sales and logistics distribution. They are good at using equipment to produce ice cups that meet market demand at low cost and deliver them to customers quickly.

The modern industrial chain emphasizes specialized division of labor. Equipment manufacturers focus on improving equipment technology, allowing ice cup manufacturers to focus more on production and market.

Differences in profit models and risks

Different profit models will bring different business risks. Take the ice-making industry as an example. The risks of the two models of equipment sales and ice cup production are very different.

Equipment sales model: The production cycle of ice-making equipment is relatively clear, and the end customers are relatively concentrated (Such as ice cup factories, beverage factories, water plants, etc.)

Ice cup production model: It belongs to fast-moving consumer goods manufacturing, and its sales channels are very extensive (it needs to connect with a large number of terminals such as catering, retail, supermarkets, entertainment venues, etc.)

The risks of equipment sales mainly lie in technology iteration and market competition. Ice cup production faces risks such as raw material price fluctuations, changes in market demand, and inventory pressure.

Conclusion

The source manufacturer of ice cup equipment has the advantage of "manufacturing production tools" rather than "using tools to efficiently produce products and complete sales." By focusing on equipment manufacturing, ice cup production equipment manufacturers can better play their technical advantages and provide efficient and reliable production equipment, thereby occupying a favorable position in the market.

As an ice cup equipment manufacturer, Icemedal refrigeration chooses to focus on its area of expertise - continuously investing in research and development to produce more advanced and efficient ice cup equipment, achieving win-win results through cooperation with downstream manufacturers, and promoting the development of the entire industry.
