Dajmstrut (Daim Strut) ice cream

Dajmstrut, widely known as the Daim Strut, is a classic Scandinavian ice cream cone featuring vanilla ice cream, a wafer cone, and pieces of the iconic Daim almond butter toffee. The brand's journey began in Sweden and Norway in 1953 when the Marabou and Freia companies launched the Daim bar, inspired by the American Heath bar.

Today, the manufacturing of Daim-branded ice cream products occurs in multiple locations across Europe to satisfy regional markets. The ownership of the Daim brand itself remains with Mondelez International, which manages the confectionery side. However, the production and distribution of Daim ice cream are often handled through strategic licensing agreements with major dairy conglomerates like Froneri (a joint venture involving Nestlé) and Unilever, ensuring the product reaches freezers globally while maintaining its Swedish heritage.

As of 2026, the ultimate ownership reflects a complex global food network where the original Swedish confectionery invention is scaled through American corporate ownership and specialized international ice cream manufacturing partnerships.
