Hansens Is has entered into a partnership with Den Sociale Kapitalfond which acquires 60% of the shares in the ice cream dynasty, while the brothers Anders and Rasmus Eibye Hansen keep the remaining 40%. They will dedicate their combined, future efforts to professionalising the company, consolidating Hansens Is’s leading position in the Danish market and expanding into the other Nordic countries.
Hansens Is is Denmark’s leading organic ice cream dairy and the only one in Denmark with a production process based on raw milk and ice cream made exclusively from fresh milk and cream. It is a family business founded in 1922, and four generations have been making ice cream since then. The Hansens Is brand was created in 2003 with production in Jægerspris, Denmark.
Den Sociale Kapitalfond is a value-driven investment fund that combines economic growth and social responsibility in its investments.
