Our Beginning

About Pam & Ice Tubes

The simple wish of a mother to keep her child's water bottle cold during his soccer game was the spark that started the fire for Pam Moore. The frustration of trying to force ice cubes into that narrow water bottle led Pam to seek a better way to cool things down. Her determination and creative mind drove her to develop an ice tray that forms water into narrow tubes of ice. These tubes, "Ice Tubes" fit perfectly through the opening of the water bottles that regular ice cubes would not. Pam's children's drinks were now cold, but her company Ice Tubes, Inc., and her entrepreneurial journey was just warming up.

Ice Tubes Incorporated in 1998 but did not ship the first ice tube tray until May of 1999. Our ice trays form ice into cylindrical tube shapes that easily slide into bottled beverages such as bottled water, bottled pop and sports bottles.

Our offices are located in Mogadore, Ohio and our products are manufactured and assembled locally. We currently sell our ice trays in national retail stores across the country. To date, we have sold over 5 million trays. Ice Tubes, Inc. has been embraced as a wonderful small business story, and Pam has been recognized by a number of small business organizations for her perseverance, hard work and vision.

Pam has been profiled in the Washington Post, New York Times, L.A. Times, Dallas Morning News, Crain's Business, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal, Self Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Working Mother Magazine, Smart Business Ohio and other prominent newspapers and magazines.

Pam is a member of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, a founding member of the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce, as well as a member of the National Association of Women's Business Owners and the Akron Chamber of Commerce.
