R&R Ice Cream (R&R) has agreed to acquire, for an undisclosed sum, the issued share capital of Durigon Gelato (Durigon).

This is conditional only on clearance from the German Federal Cartel Office which has been notified of the acquisition.

Based at Schwanewede-​Brundorf near Bremen with 70 employees, Durigon manufactures tubs in different sizes from 200ml-​5000ml, sandwiches and other ice cream products for the private label market and also under the Durigon brand. The Italian ice cream specialities sell throughout Germany and other EU countries.

R&R plans to invest in the Durigon factory and grow sales as an integral part of its strategy to develop its private label business in Germany.

Werner Durigon, who will continue as managing director of Durigon, said: “I am pleased that our family’s and employees´ long association with Durigon will continue within the R&R group and look forward to strong future growth in our factory at Schwanewede.”
