For generations of South Australians, Golden North has been a part of summer afternoons, family gatherings and childhood memories. Now, the iconic ice cream maker is entering a whole new chapter, with some exciting surprises in store.

After more than 100 years of making ice cream in the small Mid North town of Laura, Golden North has officially started production at its new Murray Bridge factory.

Golden North Managing Director Dimi Kyriazis shared just how significant the milestone is for the South Australian business.

“It is incredibly rewarding to see production underway at our new home.”

“It represents months of planning, preparation and hard work from our team to bring the new facility into operation.”

For ice cream lovers, one of the most exciting parts of the move is what could be coming to the freezer aisle.

With greater production capacity and more room to experiment, Golden North is exploring new flavours, ice cream concepts, sorbets and other frozen desserts, meaning there could be a few new favourites to discover in the years ahead.

But it’s not all about satisfying South Australia’s sweet tooth.

Golden North is also working towards expanding into cheese manufacturing, bringing experienced cheesemakers back into the business as it explores opportunities in the wider dairy industry.

While there’s no confirmed launch date or product range just yet, it’s an exciting possibility for a brand that has spent more than a century specialising in ice cream.

The company’s ambitions aren’t stopping at South Australia’s borders, with Golden North producing its first export order for Malta, which is now ready for shipment, marking an important step towards introducing its ice cream to more people around the world.

Closer to home, there could also be something special on the horizon for families and ice cream enthusiasts.

“We would love to find ways to welcome people into our world and give them a closer look at what happens behind the scenes.”

“So, watch this space! We look forward to sharing more when the time is right.”

But for now, the focus is on settling into the new facility and keeping South Australian freezers stocked as the warmer weather arrives.

“This investment is about more than meeting today’s demand.”

“It is about positioning Golden North for the next 100 years, while staying true to our South Australian heritage and the values that have built the brand.”

With new flavours on the drawing board, possible behind-the-scenes experiences and even cheese in the pipeline, it looks like there’s a lot more to come from Golden North.
