This cooling device rapidly normalizes elevated body temperatures when worn around the neck, helping to prevent heat-related illnesses during extreme weather.
One of the key features of the Ice Ring is its use of a plant-based oil (PCM) derived from palm oil as its refrigerant.
Developed in 2017, the Ice Ring has secured domestic and international patents, design registrations, and trademarks.
It is also registered as a manufacturing item with the Public Procurement Service. This product stands out in the market due to its superior quality and competitive pricing compared to other similar products.
“Domestic competitors lack the advanced technology, resulting in inferior designs and higher consumer prices, making it hard for them to match the Ice Ring’s competitiveness,” said a company official. “Chinese products, on the other hand, use low-cost refrigerants that emit unpleasant odors and have poor designs, which also hinders their competitiveness.”
This year, Mpacplus also introduced an Ice Ring specifically designed for young children aged 3 to 7. This version lowers the cooling activation temperature from the standard 18 degrees Celsius to ensure the safety and comfort of young users, who have higher basal body temperatures and less developed temperature regulation capabilities.
According to Mpacplus, the Ice Ring holds a 40 percent share of the domestic market. Chinese products account for 50 percent, while other competitors occupy the remaining 10 percent.
Mpacplus is expanding its market presence with a range of summer cooling products. Notably, the company developed an ice pack for vests and a head cooling pad last year.
Sales reached 6.96 billion won ($5.01 million) last year, up by 35 percent from the previous year. Export volumes have been steadily rising, with exports to the United States and Japan soaring from $81,000 in 2021 to $1.53 million in 2022 and $2.52 million last year.
Mpacplus earned the Three Million Dollar Export Tower at the 60th Trade Day celebration.
