New look.
John and Marie Hilke started the business in 1974 — over a Freeburg café that got tired of waiting on its ice supplier. Fifty-one years later, their son Laron and his wife Donna run mid-Missouri's largest ice supplier from the same Freeburg lot.
When central Missouri has a freezer down on a Sunday morning, somebody at Hilke's still answers.

We sell, install, and service the machines we put behind your bar.
Hilke's is an authorized dealer for Manitowoc and Koolaire — two of the most reliable commercial ice platforms on the market. We size the machine to your actual usage, deliver it, install it, and service it from there.
When a machine goes down on a Friday night, we're the call you make. That's been the deal since 1974.
From Highway 50 to the lake of the Ozarks.
Headquartered in Freeburg, our fleet covers the heart of the state — from Jefferson City to Rolla, the Lake of the Ozarks to St. Robert, and east toward St. Louis. Same-day and after-hours service when our fleet allows.
