	Our History Frosty Boy's success story began in 1976 when the company was born out of a need for better quality soft serve and a larger, unique range of soft serve blends at affordable prices. At that time, Frosty Boy started out as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taylor Freezer of Australia (agent for US based Taylor Soft Serve Machines). Over the years, Frosty Boy was owned by multinationals like Australian Dairies, NZMP (New Zealand Milk Powder) and BONLAC - now BONLAND. In 1999, Frosty Boy again became a privately owned company specializing in dairy-based powder blends focussing on soft serve bases. Our brand is well recognized throughout the soft serve industry where the quality of our blends speaks for itself. Our geographical location gives us easy access to fresh, top-quality ingredients, using only credible suppliers with strict food safety accreditations in place - offering our customers the best! Frosty Boy is a highly experienced, highly motivated and successful Australia-wide organization with global resources and connections. We are known for our superior quality and extensive range of products that have been developed over many years. Our combined knowledge, expertise and commitment to meet changing customers' needs sets our company apart.

	Diverse Range Over the past 26 years, we have expanded from manufacturing only Vanilla Soft Serve (both liquid and powder bases), to also include 'Frozen Yoghurt', Low Fat & Low Calorie Vanilla Soft Serve Base, Low Fat Chocolate Soft Serve Base, Gelato Ice Cream Base, Granita Base, both Dark and White Drinking Chocolate, Retail Size Milk Powder, Malted Milk Powder and Soft Serve Flavourings. We now do contract manufacturing for customers, which includes milk powder blends, soft serve (under their own brand name) and retail size milk powder sachets. We have also started selling equipment relating to the ice cream, granita and coffee industries. Our range offers customers an all-in-one solution to their entire equipment needs on easy payment terms.


	Our Factory In July 2004 we moved to a new factory and invested in brand new, state-of-the-art equipment. The world's most gentle but thorough blender equipment and most accurate filling equipment were installed giving customers more peace of mind than ever before. During the whole manufacturing process everything has been done to protect the integrity and unique qualities of the ingredients because when you abuse instantized milk powder by using 'harsh' blending equipment and powder transfer techniques during manufacturing, it loses its instantizing capabilities. We use a 'dense phase vacuum transfer system' to gently move ingredients from tipping stations to the blender. The blender we use (a LINDOR) is also very unique in design which gently 'folds' the powder into itself during the blending process instead of shearing it with harsh augers. The batching, blending and filling processes are controlled by computers which almost completely eliminate human error resulting in unparalleled precision and accuracy. We also installed an in-line X-ray machine which scans each bag coming off the production line for foreign objects or matter and even some lumps are detected. The X-ray process is so accurate it will pick up unwanted material like metal shavings as small as 0.5mm. The system also has an auto-reject feature, rejecting any product not within parameters. Our own laboratory with full-time Health & Safety Officer ensures that every pallet leaving the factory has been tested for quality and integrity and we keep a library sample of all our powder mixes for 2 years in the event of possible queries with regards to a specific batch. We then go one step further and have each batch bacteriologically tested by an independent laboratory before the product is released into the market, ready for distribution and sale. We have an impeccable food safety record that we are proud of! We manufacture under a strict HACCP Food Safety code of practice with regular audits done by QAS (Quality Assurance Systems) as well as by external customers like YUM Restaurants. From this factory location in Loganholme (just south of Brisbane), we provide services to our own distributor network, national clients and international customers.
