Drammens Is is a former ice cream manufacturer based in Drammen, Norway. It was founded in 1937, bought Joker Is in 1991, but in 1997 the factory was completely destroyed after a fire due to a bombing aimed at the next-door locales of Bandidos. Just afterwards the company was bought by Nestlé who took over the rights to the brands, and made an agreement with Diplom-Is regarding production and distribution of the products.
After large economic losses on the Norwegian ice cream market, Nestlé closed down its Norwegian ice cream division in 2005. At the same time Diplom-Is took over the marketing and distribution of Nestlé\'s international ice cream brands in Norway while the former Drammens Is brands disappeared from the marketplace.
Among the brands made by Drammens Is were Gullkrone, Kjempe-Yes, Hip, Hawaii, Mr.Yankee, Break, Luksuspinne, Kjempe-Nuggi, Sjokoladepinne, Banansplit, Twin, Kokosboller and På Minuttet.
