The big question of which country Unilever will list its ice cream business remains unanswered<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Unilever is seeking a new home to list its \u20ac15bn ice-cream business after failed attempts<\/a> to sell, and three big governments want in on the action. <\/p>\n

Unilever is currently listed in London, but the once underperforming ice cream business could be housed elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Who wants a lick of Unilever\u2019s ice cream?<\/h2>\n

With recent global stock market ups and downs \u2013 caused by Trump\u2019s tariff threats<\/a> \u2013 countries are scrabble for a lick of Unilever\u2019s soon-to-be spun-off ice cream unit. <\/p>\n

According to reports, Amsterdam, London or New York are on the business\u2019s real estate list. <\/p>\n

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves first stepped into the discussion to keep Unilever\u2019s ice cream in the UK in September. This came after a major drugs company pulled investment there. <\/p>\n

Ahead of the spin-off this year, Unilever announced the closure of an ice cream factory in Bulgaria. Though the production would be switched to Romania and Unilever did not specify whether it was linked to any consolidation plans. <\/p>\n

Unilever\u2019s business strategy<\/h2>\n

CEO Hein Schumacher\u2019s strategy to split ice cream from the main business came as the boss decided it was distinctly different to the blue chip\u2019s leading operations. <\/p>\n

Schumacher would instead focus on a series of hero brands, with ambitions to produce millions<\/a> of euros of new NPD in the coming years. However, Unilever\u2019s latest accounts showed ice cream was performing well<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Schumacher, along with other global FMCG businesses, will also strengthen Unilever\u2019s focus on India<\/a>, which businesses worldwide view as the next major growth market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
