Our Story


Ben's Dry Ice is a full-service dry ice delivery service, based in San Francisco and fulfilling orders for corporate and individual customers throughout the Bay Area. We pride ourselves in being honest, helpful and forthright in all interactions, with our customers, our partners and our community.

Ben's Dry Ice was founded by Ben Emmrich, in 2012, when he realized the demand for dry ice deliveries in small quantities. He started small, with one cooler of dry ice stored in the laundry room of his apartment building and growing his customer base through cold calls to local businesses.

Here's Ben with his wife Kaili, selling dry ice for Halloween on the corner of Hayes and Divisadero Streets. This was taken the week that Ben's Dry Ice formally became a company in 2012. 

Since 2012, Ben's Dry Ice has grown to be one of the largest dry ice sellers in the Bay Area, by consistently exceeding customer's expectations on both service and price.

The Ben's Dry Ice team is a small, dedicated group of Bay Area locals who love watching our customers' businesses grow. We're here to serve you, so please reach out if you're interested in dry ice delivery or have any dry ice questions.
