Why we exist?

We believe life tastes better with Ice Cream. We exist to bring the power of ice cream to more people, in more places, in new and unexpected ways. As our founder Mr Wall’s already said in 1922, ‘By taking pleasure seriously”. We truly embody this and are creating the world’s largest IC company to accelerate these extraordinary ice cream experiences for more people around the globe

About the company: Unilever, world’s 3rd largest CPG company with revenues of $60mn, has announced the spinoff of its Ice cream business group and form an independent company. Ice cream as a business system has very different character & a distinct business system when compared to other Unilever categories as it requires a dedicated cold chain GTM, it’s an impulse category and needs larger distributive and multichannel OOH footprint, needs agility to manage seasonality and rigour in front end execution.

This bold move leads the creation of an iconic pure play ice cream company “MAGNUM IC Company” which operates in 80 countries with a revenue scale of $9bn globally, headquartered in Amsterdam. Magnum IC Company houses world’s most iconic brands like Magnum / Ben & Jerry, Cornetto, Breyers ,Walls and Grom. This separation gives us boost to accelerate fast in the highly attractive $1 trillion snacking and refreshment industry, growing consistently globally.

Magnum IC Company in India: In India, Kwality Wall’s (brand of Hindustan Unilever) is a large IC business with national presence. The HUL board has approved the demerger of Kwality Walls India business as a separate listed entity. Hence KWIL will be 100% part of the Magnum IC company with its India head office in Mumbai.
