General information

Short Summary
A Swedish company specialised in handmade plant-based frozen desserts is seeking contract manufacturing partners, including ice cream producers, for production and packaging under its own brand. Cooperation is sought under commercial agreements.
Full Description
A family-owned company from Sweden, founded in 2014, has specialised in creating luxurious, plant-based desserts using fruits and nuts. Building on years of recipe development, the company offers a range of raw frozen products including ice cream bars, dessert cups, and cake slices. The products are gluten-free and use cashew nuts as a base to create a smooth, creamy texture.

The concept is positioned between traditional desserts and ice cream, making it suitable for year-round sales. The desserts appeal to diverse dietary groups such as vegans, lactose-intolerant and gluten-intolerant consumers, as well as health-conscious individuals. Products are already established in the local market and have proven demand.

To expand production capacity and enter larger markets, the company is seeking long-term cooperation with experienced contract manufacturers in Europe. In particular, it is looking for ice cream producers or facilities with frozen dessert expertise that can reproduce recipes, ensure high-quality production standards, and manage packaging and labeling under the company’s own brand.

The cooperation is expected to take place under commercial agreements, enabling international scaling while maintaining quality, organic standards, and brand identity.
