Vadilal Industries is an Indian multinational company specializing in ice cream and frozen food products. The company was established in 1907 by Vadilal Gandhi in Ahmedabad.[4]
History
In 1907, Vadilal made its first ice cream "using the traditional kothi method", with a hand-cranked machine.[5] In 1926, it introduced its dedicated ice cream parlours, and began offering home delivery.
The brand introduced the cassata to Indian audiences in 1950. Vadilal expanded in 1985 and later introduced India's first automated ice cream candy line machinery.
In 1989, the company went public and launched its IPO. This was followed by the opening of their first ice cream plant in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh in 1993. Two years later in 1995, they began exporting their sub-brands to over 26 countries.
In 2012, the company introduced an extrusion machine and cone-making machine.[6]
