Unilever spent US$20m to set up the Wall’s factory in the Vietnamese capital of Ho Chi Minh City (locally known as Saigon) in 1997. It can produce nine million litres of ice cream each year.

The acquisition will be used to drive Kinh Do’s push into the domestic ice cream sector, reported Asia Pulse.
