Antonelli Bros Ltd

Antonelli Bros Ltd are a manufacturer of ice cream cones and wafers, based in Eccles, Greater Manchester.

Company founder, Domenico Antonelli was born in Picinisco, Lazio, Italy.

After moving to the UK, he started to manufacture ice cream cones and wafers in 1912.

The biscuit ovens were used to produce 'Iron rations' for the military during WWII when wafer production was banned.

Post-war business boomed and in 1961, Romolo's sons Ernest, Roland and Victor opened the bakery in Eccles specialising in biscuits for the ice cream trade.
