B. Atkins & Co. was originally founded in the early 1920’s in Cape Town, South Africa by Benjamin Atkins, an entrepreneur who had vision, perseverance and courage.

In 1997, with similar entrepreneurial spirit, Clive Zickel, Benjamin Atkins’ grandson , together with his wife Margaret, co-founded B. Atkins & Co. (USA). Their idea was to create a company that would seek out the finest artisan made frozen dessert products in the United States and Overseas, and supply them to the best restaurants in the New York area.

A meticulous and discriminating search led them to a small manufacturer of gourmet gelato and sorbet in Michigan who made the best ice cream they had ever tasted and they obtained distribution rights to "Palazzolo’s Gourmet Ice Cream."

Palazzolo's Gelato and Sorbet is now found in many of the best restaurants, hotels, caterers and country clubs on Long Island and the New York Metropolitan area.

B. Atkins & Co. is now working with manufacturers of complementary products in the United States, Belgium and Italy and aspires to be the distributor of choice in its chosen market.

The company maintains its own warehousing and distribution center on Long Island, NY.
