“It is with great pride we bring the two businesses together and it is our strong belief that we together will be able to further develop and build on the skills, expertise and knowledge of Ingman and Unilever,” said Peter Ingman, MD Ingman Ice Cream. “Together, we will further strengthen our positions in ice cream as well as serve our consumers and customers with an even more complete offering.”
“Ingman Ice Cream brings a strong portfolio of locally produced iconic brands and a wide range of non-dairy, soy-based and lactose-free products, which will have a perfect fit with Unilever as well as adding a unique local dimension to Unilever,” said Henri de Sauvage, chairman Unilever Nordic.
Ingman Ice Cream will continue its operations as before, and under the leadership of Peter Ingman.
Ingman Ice Cream employs about 700 employees, with production facilities in Sibbo (Finland), Åhus (Sweden), Mazeikiai (Lithuania) and Gomel (Belarus).
In 2010, Ingman Ice Cream brands generated annual sales of €70m.
