Who We Are
The Strength of Working Together
The Southern Ice Exchange (SIE) is a regional trade association representing ice manufacturers throughout the Southeast and suppliers throughout the United States and Canada.
SIE was founded in 1889 when businessmen in the ice industry recognized that shared opportunities and challenges could be addressed more effectively through cooperation.
That spirit of cooperation continues today, particularly as government activity affecting the business community makes an informed, connected industry increasingly important.
