While the sight of premium fruit shaved ice priced in the tens of thousands of won caught attention last year, this summer\u2019s sensation is the \u201ccup shaved ice,\u201d reportedly causing headaches for part-time workers due to the overwhelming demand across franchise brands.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though toppings and presentation are important, the essence of shaved ice is, without a doubt, the ice itself. This is why traditional shaved ice made from hard, watery ice has disappeared, replaced by soft, milk-based snowflake ice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Located in Gimpo, Korea Nakajo Co., Ltd. manufactures machines that produce the key ingredient of shaved ice \u2014 ice \u2014 specializing in ice makers and ice shavers. Founded in 2000, the company proudly celebrates 25 years of expertise. That history has not been in vain; the company takes pride in possessing unmatched know-how in ice maker and ice shaver manufacturing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In particular, Korea Nakajo emphasizes its confidence in its ice-shaving technology, which requires a high level of precision and technical capability. The company\u2019s ice shavers produce fine-textured ice, allowing users to enjoy delicious, soft \u201csnowflake\u201d shaved ice. Their machines feature a simple one-touch operation and an easy cleaning system, making them extremely user-friendly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the weather heats up and demand for iced beverages such as iced Americanos increases, Korea Nakajo\u2019s ice makers can already be found in numerous caf\u00e9s both domestically and overseas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The company currently offers 19 product lines, with daily ice-making capacities ranging from as little as 30kg to as much as 150kg, depending on the model. Compact and slim designs also make several models ideal for use in office settings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thanks to its strong product lineup, Korea Nakajo\u2019s sales have shown remarkable growth, nearly doubling in 2024 compared to 2022.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since 2022, under the leadership of CEO Choi Jong-moon, the company has been seeking collaborations with multinational brands and focusing on expanding into overseas markets.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
