Aice Group Bolsters UMKM Retail with 400,000 Warung Partners via Cold Chain

Aice Group has successfully strengthened its position as a dominant player in the frozen food retail market through massive expansion of its cold-chain distribution network. To date, the company has consolidated over 400,000 business partners, including micro-enterprises, traditional warungs, and modern retail chains across all jurisdictions in Indonesia.

The logistics infrastructure development not only serves as a product sales channel but has also transformed into a driving force for the local economic ecosystem, supporting the daily income resilience of small traders in various regions.

Management considers the strengthening of the integrated frozen supply chain as a crucial strategy to overcome Indonesia’s geographic complexities and extreme tropical climate challenges, ensuring product quality and food safety for end consumers.

Aice’s tactical move to expand market penetration aligns with the global ice cream industry’s dynamic shift towards healthier products, innovative flavours, and stringent cyber hygiene standards.

The Asia-Pacific region currently stands as the world’s largest ice cream market. Demand surges in the region are driven by accelerated urbanisation, shifting urban lifestyles, expansion of modern retail outlets, and high consumer expectations for adaptive and nutritious product variants.

Aice’s success in combining commercial profit growth with environmental sustainability and governance (ESG) has earned it the prestigious TOP CSR Awards 2026.

Chief Executive Officer Sylvana of Aice Group stated that the TOP CSR Awards 2026 recognition is not merely a certificate acknowledging the company’s social safety net programs, but a reflection of the corporation’s end-to-end commitment to building a sustainable business ecosystem.

Aice is committed to continuing investments in local raw material research, modernising factory energy efficiency, and expanding free freezer distribution to traditional warungs to boost the digital competitiveness of regional MSMEs.

‘We are grateful for this award. Looking ahead, Aice will continue to innovate products relevant to Indonesian consumers’ health needs while strengthening investments in building a more environmentally friendly and sustainable modern food industry framework,’ Sylvana concluded.
