History
Streets was founded by Edwin "Ted" Street and his wife Daisy in 1920, in Corrimal, New South Wales. He set up a distribution depot at Bexley and then a factory in the Sydney suburb of Turrella, where products were manufactured until 1996, when production moved to a new facility in Minto. Today most cream-based products are produced at Minto, while water-based products are imported from China. Streets introduced the Paddle Pop in 1953, and sold over ninety million units by century's end. It is, per capita, the world's best selling ice cream. In 1960, the company was purchased by Unilever. In the early 1980s, Streets purchased the Adelaide-based company, AMSCOL, which had been founded in 1922.Beloved SA dairy brand AMSCOL is back at a retro burger barCorporate logo
Streets shares the Heartbrand logo with Wall's, HB Ice Cream, Good Humor, GB Glace, Selecta, Kibon and Algida—used in the United Kingdom, Poland, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Sweden, Philippines, Brazil and Argentina, and Italy respectively. All brands are owned by Unilever. From 1962 to 1998 (with a change in 1968), the logo consisted of a badge containing the word Streets on a background of vertical red and white stripes.Brands and products
