Perry’s Ice Cream, is an ice cream manufacturer located in Akron, New York.
Perry’s, founded in 1918 by H. Morton Perry, is a family-owned and operated fourth generation ice cream manufacturer with frozen distribution services. Perry’s started from hand cranks and horse-drawn delivery wagons and grew into a modern, state-of-the-art ice cream production facility. Currently Perry’s Ice Cream produces over 13 million gallons of ice cream per year. Perry’s still produces their ice cream one batch at a time, giving the product its unique, old-fashioned flavor. Perry’s Ice Cream tradition centers around having “enough good stuff in the product.” With over 285 employees, Perry’s sells and distributes to New York, Western Pennsylvania, New England and Northeast Ohio.
