Head of Frozen Confectionary of Ceylon Cold Stores Sector Neil Samarasinghe said, “Elephant House Ice Creams, which first entered the Maldives market in June 2000, has been on an upward growth curve over the past nine years. We are currently the top player in the Maldives ice cream market with an over 48% share, and are proud to compete with major international brands such as Walls, Nestle, Haagen Daz etc.”
“Since our entrance to the Maldivian market, we have made significant investments in brandings and visibility, which have, in turn, aided the continuous growth of the total Ice cream market in the Maldives. In a major tourist hub as the Maldives, it is indeed very impressive what Elephant House has been able to achieve, surpassing all other international giants”, Samarasinghe added.
