a few words about

who we are

NOICEONE manufactures, distributes and markets the world’s finest synthetic ice material used for skating, hockey and iceless curling.

NOICEONE is the result of decades of work by company founder John Thorpe of Southport, U.K. The history of our synthetic ice goes back to the 1980’s in manufacture, distribution and sales. Since then we have researched and developed the premier synthetic ice world wide.

“NOICEONE’s philosophy has always been to invest in the product and let it sell itself for a reasonable price.”
~John Thorpe – Founder

Our company legacy spans 40 years and thousands of synthetic ice rinks in more than 50 countries around the world.
