Ledo Frozen Foods
Ledo is the largest Croatian manufacturer of ice cream and frozen foods, headquartered in Zagreb. Founded in 1958, the company revolutionized the domestic market with the introduction of industrially produced ice cream, with the legendary 'Snjeguljica' (Snow White) on a stick becoming its first major success. Over decades, Ledo expanded its range to include frozen vegetables, fish, meat, and ready-to-eat meals, securing a dominant market position across the entire Adriatic region. Production is characterized by state-of-the-art refrigeration technology and a continuous cold chain extending from the plant to the final consumer. Since 2021, Ledo has been part of the Nomad Foods group, Europe's largest frozen food company, which enabled access to new international markets. The distinctive blue-and-white logo featuring a polar bear is a symbol of quality and innovation within the Croatian food industry. Continuous investments in new flavors and healthier product variants keep the company at the forefront of consumer preferences.
