Ice Transportation: Why Caterers are Moving Beyond Coolers

When you cater with Cambro, you have the confidence of knowing your food will stay fresh at safe temperatures for the duration of your event. Mangia Catering, located in Liberty Lake, Wash., is solely focused on quality. They want to be the best and they’re always trying to make their offerings and services better. That’s why they rely on Cambro for their food and beverage transportation needs.

Tim Mitchell, founder of Mangia Catering, visited the Cambro booth at Catersource last year in Orlando, Fla. A few months later, he was contacted by Cambro with the news that he won our $3,000 giveaway!

“It was like Christmas!! It was so hard to choose what we wanted to use the credit for, but we went with something we have rented many times but always wanted to own,” said Mitchell.

“The caddies have allowed us to go away from large coolers and keep all that ice easily transported on wheels!”

Cambro SlidingLid™ Ice Caddies keep ice frozen for more than hours—days! Designed with a lid that slides back and under during use to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, it’s also equipped with a recessed well and drain shelf to drain water away from ice to keep it frozen longer.

Mangia Catering serves a variety of events, from upscale to casual and full service to drop and go. No matter how he’s catering, Mitchell uses Cambro insulated transport units.

“The Cambro Camcarriers are something we use just about every day. Because we typically focus on onsite cooking, most of our Cambro usage is for cold holding and transport,” said Mitchell. “For our drop off division, we love the lightweight Cambro [GoBox] carriers.”
