What Nic Nederland does

Nic Nederland B.V. (doing business as Nic Foodservice Nederland / Nic Foodservice BV) is a Dutch B2B foodservice supplier founded in 1994 and headquartered in Waddinxveen, Zuid-Holland. The company specializes in soft ice cream and frozen dessert ingredients, supplying liquid and powder ice cream mixes in multiple fat percentages and flavors, scoop ice cream bases, milkshake syrups, toppings, fruit cocktails, garnishes, cones, and disposables, alongside proprietary operator-facing concepts (Angelo's, Soft Ice Corner, Cool Kids), hardware (granita machines), customizable marketing materials, and operator workshops. Its core operational know-how is built on over 30 years of formulation and recipe development, delivered through a structured multi-language ecommerce catalog and direct account-manager relationships. The business model is wholesale B2B distribution: revenue is generated via quote-based pricing on catalog orders, with Franko (free-to-customer) delivery, and the customer base consists predominantly of SMB ice cream entrepreneurs and food service operators in the Netherlands. Nic Nederland operates as part of the broader Nic Group, which extends the affiliate footprint to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, though the Netherlands entity is the primary unit described here.
