“As the maker of iconic and adored brands, we are constantly looking at trends and innovations to bring frozen treat lovers new experiences that they will enjoy,” said Russel Lilly, vice president of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey-headquartered Unilever Ice Cream North America. “This year, we are excited to bring inventive flavors, increased variety, and reimagined takes on classics to your favorite retailers. We have also expanded our popular lines.”
