The Largs, Ayrshire-based plant, which is currently located behind the Nardini’s parlour that was opened in 1935, will be located in the Glasgow or Cumbernauld area. Despite a recent £250,000 (US$355.5m) investment, the factory cannot keep up with production to supply the four Nardini outlets in Glasgow.
Current owner David Hendry told the Scottish Daily Record: “There is no space to expand in Largs. There is only one production line and it has to be changed for every flavour and there are about 57. It will be the same ice-cream just produced in a different location.”
The future of the firm has been under some confusion since it was put up for sale last summer following a feud between Aldo and Peter, the brothers at the helm of the company and sons of Tuscan immigrant Pietro Nardini who opened it in 1935.
