    Ice Fili

    Ice Fili have a strong position in the market but their relative differentiation and cost position left them ‘stuck in the middle’ with respect to some regional and multinational firms. It is clear from the financial statements that the years following the crisis of ‘98 took their toll as we see a steady decrease in sales. Ice cream consumption in Russia continues to grow by an average of 3.5% over past two years (2001-2002) indicating a steady market. However, in order to remain competitive in an increasingly competitive market it may now be the time to reassess the current business model and plan strategic direction for the future.…

    Ice Filli Case Analysis

    Ice-Filli was established by the Soviet Government by the name of “Moshladokombinat N 8” in 1937 and it was the first large scale industrial manufacturer of ice cream. In the later decades it gained modernizations in equipment and technology.Ice-Filli was one of the few that survived the 11 year tenure of the fall of the Soviet Union when its major competitors who were also international like Unilever left the market when they saw how saturated and risky the market had become and the demand of ice cream had fallen drastically. Nestle and a few other foreign competitors who had already invested in local production plants managed to survive though. Ice cream had many substitutes in competition like Beer, Soda and chocolates and other domestic products. The differentiation came in advertising where Ice cream producers spent less than 1% on advertising while the beer market approx. 2% and the soft drink industry approx. 7%. In Russia there was the general idea that more ice cream was consumed in winters than in summers on the belief that it lasted longer in the cold weather and was more enjoyable. In Russia, Ice cream was an “on the go” thing and not an in-home special occasion thing like in the US market. The ice cream in Russia was consumed more on the basis of natural preservatives instead of fat levels which also meant it was less sweet like in the US and Canada. Most Russian firms in the 90s were 40 to 60 years behind the world’s technology level as per estimations from Alexander Kladiy, the chief production specialist of Ice-Filli. Being the market share leader in the ice cream market, Ice-Filli still only holds 5% of the market share as it is so competitive and huge with all the local and foreign brands.…

    Ice Fili Recommendation

    As Russia’s largest domestic ice cream producer, they had held onto their market leadership for many years. However, increasing competition from foreign companies, along with the emergence of regional producers of ice cream led to Ice-Fili’s market share erosion in the recent years. Porter’s five forces model was the primary method to analyze Ice-Fili’s industry and its competitiveness in the industry. Segmentation analysis was used for further study of the ice cream industry in Russia. The analysis was carried on key variables like distribution channel, buying behavior, geographic locations, and product characteristics. Recommendation: Ice-Fili will need to focus on the strengthening of its distribution channel through various efforts including marketing and raising of capital while focusing on its long history and brand recognition. Above all, availability of its product to the consumers is the key to Ice-Fili’s success.…

    Ice Fili

    The competitive set of the ice cream industry is highly fragmented and very diverse. International brands such as Nestlé have through their size, position and also advertising expenses managed to capture market share. The local, much smaller producers on the other hand have the majority of the Russian population on their side. In addition their organizational structure and their modern equipment make them much more flexible and manageable at a lower cost which is an immense competitive advantage. As for the threat of new entrants, it is very high too. The barriers to entry are relatively low and the product ice cream is not difficult to produce, especially for companies which are operating in the storage and freezing segment. Therefore there is a constant threat of new players coming from other industries or suppliers which will put pressure on prices and costs. As for the suppliers, the environment is amongst them very competitive which gives is reassuring. Yet suppliers might due to the low entry barriers use their strategic advantage and enter the market themselves. Furthermore due to the constant changing of suppliers no long term relationship can be established between ice Filli and its supplier which would be preferred. As for the customers, a problem for the ice cream industry is that consumers face very low switching costs and that loyalty is almost nonexistent which makes it harder for the producers to establish themselves. Producers have to be proactive to keep their customers satisfied, also in terms of quality of the ice cream.…

    ASSIGNMENT

    In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist, developed a food for babies who were unable to breastfeed. His first success was a premature infant who could not tolerate his mother's milk or any of the usual substitutes. People quickly recognized the value of the new product, after Nestlé's new formula saved the child's life, and soon, Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé was being sold in much of Europe. In 1905 Nestlé merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. By the early 1900s, the company was operating factories in the United States, Britain, Germany and Spain. World War I created new demand for dairy products in the form of government contracts. By the end of the war, Nestlé's production had more than doubled.The 1920s saw Nestlé's first expansion into new products, with chocolate the Company's second most important activity. The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé. Growth accelerated and companies were acquired. In 1947 came the merger with Maggi seasonings and soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1960, as did Findus (1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's (1973). Diversification came with a shareholding in L'Oréal in 1974.Nestlé divested a number of businesses1980/1984. In 1984, Nestlé's improved bottom line allowed the Company to launch a new round of acquisitions, the most important being American food giant Carnation. Since 1996 there has been other acquisitions including San Pellegrino (1997), Spillers Petfoods (1998) and Ralston Purina (2002). There were two major acquisitions in North America, both in 2002: in July, Nestlé merged its U.S. ice cream business into Dreyer's and in August, a US$ 2.6bn acquisition was announced of Chef America, Inc. In 2003 Mövenpick Ice Cream was acquired, enhancing Nestlé's position as one of the world market leaders in this product category. In 2006, Jenny Craig and Uncle Toby's were added to the Nestlé…
