Ledo d.d. is a Croatian-based producer of ice cream and frozen food headquartered in Zagreb. It was partially owned by the Agrokor group, which restructured and rebranded as Fortenova Group in 2018.[3] Ledo is one of the largest producers of frozen food and ice cream in Southeastern Europe.[4] Apart from Croatia, it is also produced and sold in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Hungary.[4] Beginning of 2021, Fortenova announced it was entering exclusive negotiations with the UK-headquartered Nomad Foods about the sale of its frozen food arm which comprised Ledo plus d.o.o. (Croatia), Ledo Čitluk (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Frikom (Serbia).[3]. In January 2021 Croatian business press reported that the purchase price would likely exceed EUR 600 million.[5][6] On March 29 2021 Fortenova Group announced that the transaction was closed at EUR 615 million and would be finalized in Q3 2021.[7]
The first ice cream produced in Croatia, the popular Snjeguljica (Snow White), was introduced in 1958.[4] At the time, what was to become Ledo was a part of a larger Croatian milk producer.[citation needed]
