Froneri

Froneri International Limited is a British ice cream manufacturer with its headquarters in Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire, England. It is the second-largest producer of ice cream in the world by retail sales, after The Magnum Ice Cream Company, with the two companies together accounting for approximately 32% of total global retail sales. Froneri was established in 2016 as a joint venture between Nestlé and PAI Partners to combine the two companies' ice cream activities. PAI Partners had previously acquired R&R Ice Cream in 2013. R&R was originally founded as Richmond Ice Cream in 1985. Froneri expanded by initiating consolidation in the European ice cream market. It then took control over Nestlé's USA's ice cream division in 2020. The company has a turnover of £750 million, and employs 15,000 people. The main production site is located at Leeming Bar, and employs 665 people in the largest ice cream factory in Europe. Smaller production sites are located in Skelmersdale and Bodmin, Cornwall.
