Its dynamic movements in every direction and its inquisitive character symbolize the flexibility and curiosity that enables us to create the best ice cream products for our clients. Like the hummingbird who carefully selects which nectar to drink, Glacio also collects the best quality ingredients. At Glacio we realize that each product and person is different and unique, but in the end we all share one thing: an eager passion for high-end ice cream specialities. HISTORY GLACIO, DRIVEN BY EXCELLENCE Glacio’s long-standing experience with ice cream production dates back to 1972 with the production of ice cream in Belgium under the brand name of Pinti. Pinti specialised in the home vending industry. Ten years later, Pinti was absorbed by Schöller, Germany’s leading ice cream company, and the original Belgian plant started producing the quality ice cream Mövenpick. Thanks to the extensive experience of the plant, its trendsetting products, the quality of its production processes, and its top-notch research & development, Schöller Belgium became the group’s European Centre of Excellence in 1996. In 2001, the gastronomic philosophy and expertise was exported to Japan, Schöller Frozen Foods Japan was founded. In the same year, the Schöller Holding was acquired by the Nestlé group. The year 2003 was a turning point for the company. In consultation with Nestlé, the local management decided to steer its own course. Under this new management, the emphasis again came to lie in creativity, diversity and quality. The vast experience of the management in the earlier configurations of the company instantly inspired increased confidence in their partners and customers. Glacio NV was officially founded on 1 January 2004. Also in 2004, the Japanese subsidiary was reborn as Glacio Ice Cream Japan. In 2011, Glacio expanded again establishing the foundation of Glacio France. In 2013, Glacio took over Belgian ice cream group, a leading manufacturer in the local market with strong brands like IJsboerke, Mio and Arctic. At present, Glacio NV has more than 400 specialist employees who know everything there is to know about ice cream.
