HISTORY
Gourmet Ice Cream Products was formed in 1997 following a number of acquisitions of smaller boutique
manufacturing operations that have been satisfying customers in South East Queensland for over 30
years.
Today, Gourmet Ice Cream Products, under the management of David and Andrew Fitzpatrick, have
developed a portfolio of brands and products that cater specifically to a number of market segments.
Their ongoing aim is to provide quality and innovation that one would experience in fine dining rooms
from around the world.
David and Andrew are passionate about creating the very best. They have finely tuned the
manufacturing process, forged strong and reputable relationships to secure the best available ingredients
and they are continually in contact with their customers and listening to their comments.
The Team at Gourmet Ice Cream Products look forward to continuing the tradition of being the market
leaders and innovators in the frozen desserts market.
LOCATION
In 2004, Gourmet Ice Cream Products re-located to a new purpose built manufacturing facility to
accommodate the increasing business that was and is continually taking place.
The location selected at Virginia in the northern suburbs is strategically located close to the Gateway
arterial road which enables quick access to the Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast markets.
All of our products are produced, stored and distributed from this site. This enables Gourmet Ice Cream
Products to have total control of the cold chain process to guarantee the quality of our products.
