Today, we celebrate 46 years of business. We honor the journey of an enterprise that began with a simple yet powerful vision — to provide a necessity as basic and vital as ice, while building trust and lasting relationships with our community, the Davao Region and many parts of Mindanao.
Forty-six years ago, our founders, Sergio O. Solana Sr. and Roberta F. Solana, planted the seed of what we now proudly call Solana Ice Plant, Inc.
This anniversary is more than just a number. It is a reminder of resilience, innovation, and faith in what we do. Every block of ice we produced, every delivery we made, every customer we served — all of these became part of the story that brought us here today.
But as we celebrate our past, we also look ahead with excitement. Today with the Solana family being in the ice business for 56, yes, a total of 56 years of service since 1969, we mark an opening of a new chapter — the start of building a foundation for our new plant in the southern part of Mindanao. We are stepping into new opportunities, modernizing our processes, and reaching wider markets. This stepping stone is not just growth for the company — it is growth for our employees, opportunities and continued service to our loyal customers plus more job offerings for that locality.
We remain guided by the same values that carried us through the decades: quality and service with a heart. With these as our foundation, we are confident that the next years will be even more fruitful.
To our dedicated employees, thank you for your loyalty and hard work. To our customers, thank you for trusting us with your needs for nearly half a century. To our vendors, thank you for always being the backbone behind our every demand and needs in making our plans a reality despite all the challenges. And to our friends in the ice plant business and ice plant operators thank you for believing in our vision.
