History/Background:
ICE was founded in 1989 in White Salmon, WA with the mission of
developing composite technologies and processes that lead to high
volume manufacturing opportunities. ICE is
best known in the retail world for the Nolimitz
line of windsurfing masts. Nolimitz is one of the highest
visibility areas of ICE, especially locally, but far
from all we do here. In fact,
Nolimitz masts are actually a very small slice of the pie.
The majority of ICE’s work is spread out over a broad customer
base. We are a manufacturer of advanced composite products
for the aerospace, industrial, defense, automotive and
recreational industries.
Our capabilities range from prepreg table rolled tubing to
complex molded components. ICE works with customers to
engineer solutions to meet their specific needs and
then moves these prototype
developments into volume production. Currently, ICE
manufactures a diverse range of parts for a broad customer
base including components for use in the oil & gas industry,
surveying equipment, UAV aircraft, furniture
for Polo Ralph Lauren, recreational and automotive
components to name a few.
We are constantly developing new markets and components driven
by the demand of our customers.
What ICE Does:
ICE specializes in the engineering and fabrication of composite
(carbon fiber and fiberglass) parts utilizing prepreg materials.
Prepreg is a dry material that is heat activated to
achieve cure. These materials do not have the wet resins
or toxic fumes that are usually associated with composite production.
Although the materials and production technology that ICE uses are
expensive it results in the highest quality products available.
We take great pride in the products that we produce and the support we
give our customers. It is a good feeling knowing the parts
we build get launched into space on the shuttle, help protect the country,
or just help win the Americas Cup.
Every employee at ICE is a critical
team member leading to the success of not just Innovative
Composite Engineering, but to the
success of our customers and the nation as a whole.
Culture:
ICE firmly believes in keeping manufacturing jobs in the
US and in this community.
We provide an exciting,
challenging and rewarding workplace that people enjoy.
ICE works with team members to help them grow personally
as well as within the organization. As we spend about half
of our awake hours at work, it needs to be something we look
forward to and enjoy.
