Emerging ice cream brand Chicecream has been gaining popularity among young people recently, and it is made by none other than Nantong Xincheng Dairy Co, based in Rudong county, Nantong.

Production lines at the company are now running at full capacity, with daily output reaching as much as 50,000 ice creams. The ice cream is sold around the country through completed cold-chain logistics, said Jia Jun, general manager of the company.

Since its establishment in March 2004, the company has been looking to build itself into a production base of medium and high-end ice cream. 

Jia said market competition is fierce, with over 400 ice cream producers in China, but the strong flavor, low cost and high efficiency of the company's products speak for themselves.

Costing more than 20 million yuan ($2.83 million) in total, the company has brought in five advanced automatic production lines and established a standard refrigeration warehouse with a storage capacity of 25,000 metric tons. The production lines integrate several functions such as automatic production, cleaning, disinfection, and testing.

In addition, the company has also attracted over 30 professional workers to ensure product quality and improve taste, appearance, and packaging to meet the demands of different clients.

Thanks to its advanced equipment and technology, the company's processing volume is expected to reach 5,000 tons, and it has already received orders to last the rest of the year.
