REGIS pioneered in the Cyprus ice-cream industry by establishing the first manufacturing unit in 1952. George Protopapas had the entrepreneurial foresight to invest in this relatively new sector of the market. The Protopapas family still own and are actively involved with the company.

Οne of the first products to be developed was the CHOC ICE bar the famous “ plaka” ice cream, followed by the orange and vanilla lollies. In 1960 the first family packs emerged in four flavours in paper packs and in 1967 the first industrial cone CONO PRIMO was produced, the predecessor of CONO AGRINO.

In the sixties and as electricity began to spread all over Cyprus, the company was covering effectively all towns and villages. REGIS quickly became a household name with its branded ice creams.

The invasion of Turkey in July 1974, brought about many losses for REGIS as most of its fleet as well as its ice-cream cabinets, were trapped in the North of Cyprus which at the time was the most economically and touristically developed part of the country. Nevertheless, REGIS regrouped and continued its operations.

Later in the seventies the company introduced some fun ice creams for the children namely the HAPPY ICE triangles and the PUSH UP tube.

In 1982 REGIS pioneered once more by producing the first strained Greek style yogurt on the island, VELOUTE. With its creamy and velvety texture VELOUTE soon became one of the most popular yogurts in Cyprus. Also in the eighties REGIS upgraded its diet and diabetic ice cream and in 1987 introduced an innovation, whereby enzymes were used for the first time for the production of family ice creams, thus reducing lactose and making ice cream a treat for the lactose intolerant customers.

In the meantime the company never ceased to upgrade both the factory facilities as well as the distribution centers, its fleet and ice cream cabinets in order to prepare itself for the opening of the market in 1996 and the increased competition from imported ice cream brands. The product range was enriched further with new products, like the premium sticks MEGA. In the same year 1996, the strategic cooperation with MOVENPICK began, which continuous uninterrupted until today.

With the turn of the century the family range was upgraded and new multipacks were introduced. The QUATTRO family pack was also made available as the first and still the only two litre, four flavoured ice cream offered to the Cyprus market.

In the most recent years new and more appealing flavours have been introduced both in the family range as well as in catering ice cream that now has a range of more than 30 flavours. 2011 saw the introduction of the new ICE DREAM 500ml range in modern and classic flavours offered at a very attractive price.

Despite the increased competition REGIS still has a substantial share of the market, while its classics CONO AGRINO and CHOC ICE are among the bestsellers in the impulse ice cream range. Our vision is to maintain and strengthen our position by offering quality ice cream made by pure and carefully selected ingredients.
