history

The company was founded in 2016 as a joint venture between the Swiss food company Nestlé and the British ice cream manufacturer R&R Ice Cream , a subsidiary of the French affiliate PAI partners . In Froneri, Nestlé and R&R merged their ice cream activities in Europe, the Middle East (excluding Israel), Argentina, Australia, Brazil, the Philippines and South Africa, as well as Nestlé's European frozen foods business (including, for example, the German Erlenbacher Backwaren GmbH, but not the frozen pizza and retail frozen food sectors in Italy) and the Nestlé business with chilled dairy products in the Philippines. R&R Ice Cream goes completely into the new company. Nestlé and PAI partners each hold 50% of the share capital of Froneri. Since April 1, 2017, the ice cream and baked goods manufacturer Nestlé Schöller GmbH, founded by Theo Schöller , has been operating under the new name Froneri Schöller GmbH. R&R Ice Cream Deutschland GmbH, based in Osnabrück , has been operating under the name Froneri Ice Cream Deutschland GmbH since then .

In autumn 2017 it became known that a factory in Tavros / Greece and one in Parma / Italy will be closed.
