Peters Ice Cream is an Australian company specializing in a variety of ice cream products, catering to diverse consumer tastes and dietary requirements, ranging from traditional favorites to gourmet options. Founded in 1907 in Melbourne, Australia, Peters Ice Cream is known for producing a wide array of ice cream products. In May 2014, R&R Ice Cream Ltd acquired Peters Foods in a transaction valued at AUD 450 million. The company operates with a strategic focus on maintaining its presence in the food service sector, with no known subsidiaries or major pivots in its business model.

The current CEO is Emma Collins, who has overseen developments in product offerings during her tenure. Peters Ice Cream produces a diverse range of ice creams designed to meet various consumer preferences and dietary needs. The product lineup includes traditional family favorites alongside gourmet dessert options, with a focus on low-calorie, non-dairy, and gluten-free selections. The company markets these products in Australia, targeting both retail consumers and food service entities, thus ensuring broad market accessibility.

In the most recent financial year, Peters Ice Cream reported revenue of AUD 230,423,882 with an EBITDA loss of AUD 4,867,980. The business model encompasses direct sales to consumers and strategic partnerships with retailers and wholesalers, enabling widespread distribution through grocery chains, cafes, and restaurants. Peters Ice Cream plans to enhance its product lineup by introducing new offerings tailored to meet evolving consumer tastes. The company is also considering geographic expansion to new markets within Australia, with specific timelines yet to be announced.

The recent acquisition by R&R Ice Cream Ltd will support these initiatives, utilizing the AUD 450 million from the acquisition deal to fund product development and market expansion efforts.
