Perry’s Ice Cream

Perry’s Ice Cream is a family-owned ice cream manufacturer headquartered in Akron, New York, with a legacy spanning over a century. Founded in 1918 by H. Morton Perry as Perry’s Dairy, the company began with a humble milk delivery service using hand-cranked churns and horse-drawn wagons. Today, it has evolved into one of the most modern ice cream production facilities in the United States and is the 26th largest ice cream brand in the country.

The company produces approximately 11 million gallons of ice cream annually, offering over 166 unique flavors in its portfolio. Its core business revolves around three pillars: the Perry’s ice cream brand, contract manufacturing for third parties, and a frozen distribution network that delivers not only ice cream but also frozen pizzas, meals, and other frozen products. Perry’s primarily serves New York, Western Pennsylvania, New England, and Northeast Ohio, with growing recognition as Upstate New York’s #1 ice cream choice.

Perry’s maintains a commitment to its traditional slow-cooked recipe, which has remained unchanged since 1932. As a fourth-generation family enterprise, the company emphasizes sustainability, product innovation, and regional pride. Its hospitality and dedication to quality have solidified its reputation as a trusted brand in the frozen dessert industry.
