The ice maker, launched in July last year, saw its sales in April increase by 177% compared to the previous month. Featuring a rapid ice-making system that produces 9 ice cubes every 7 minutes, it is made entirely of stainless steel from the ice-making rod to the body. It has received praise for combining hygiene and cooling functions.


The beer-specific stainless steel tumbler, ‘HanCan Beer Tumbler,’ also experienced a 209% increase in sales in April compared to the previous month. The HanCan Beer Tumbler is characterized by its cooling function that keeps beverages cold for a long time. It is made from premium stainless steel 304 material.


The ‘Macaron Ice Cooler,’ introduced by Lock&Lock in April, saw its sales in May increase by 280% compared to the previous month. It boasts 18 hours of cooling retention and is made from ABS material used in medical devices and carriers, making it durable yet weighing approximately 1.6kg.



A Lock&Lock representative explained, “With the heatwave arriving earlier than usual and this summer expected to be very hot, sales of related products have been increasing early on. Lock&Lock’s ice maker, HanCan Beer Tumbler, and Macaron Ice Cooler are gaining attention as essential summer items through word of mouth, thanks to their functionality, durability, and design.”
