HISTORY - The Ice Carve Pro CNC ™ 

Machines and Lathes are the brainchild of Robert "Sparky" Sparks, formally of Sparky's Ice Sculptures. Sparky has over 20 years of ice carving experience and is a retired Army Veteran. With his background and dedication, Sparky created the first production Ice Carve Pro 5000™ and sold it to KZ founder Glenn Hughes in 2011. We were honored to own the first commercial machine.

With over 2000 hours of service, that machine is still in service and going strong today. Robert Sparks approached KZ in October of 2014 and asked if we would take over the production of the machines and the customer service of the machines already on the market. With over 20 machines already produced and being used in some of the best ice sculpting companies in the world, KZ kept the level of service and quality of machinery up to the standards that Sparky set forth.

The transition of ownership went well, with Sparky continuing to tutor KZ Ice Carvings in all aspects of the machinery. KZ serviced and built machines for 6 more action packed years. The down turn of 2020 related to COVID restrictions brought on new challenges. The delayed supply chain and price increases on many of the key parts that went into the Ice Carve Pro CNC™ meant the machine made less sense to stay competitive at the time. KZ feels that pricing should always be fair for both parties so we made the hard decision to end this part of our venture.

We would like to thank all of our clients for the years of trust and the opportunity to be part of their businesses.
