About
Who We Are
At SilverPail, we believe quality speaks for itself.
We specialise in indulgent ice cream, frozen yogurt, and hand-finished desserts — all produced at our purpose-built facility in Fermoy, Co. Cork. As a second-generation family-run business, our focus has always been simple: do the basics better than anyone else — quality ingredients, precise production, and unwavering consistency.
Our Story
SilverPail was founded over four decades ago by Michael Murphy with one clear mission: to craft the creamiest, most delicious Irish ice cream using only the best raw materials.
What began as a small creamery in rural Cork has grown into a globally recognised supplier. From local beginnings to international partnerships, our story is one of passion, loyalty, and a commitment to doing things right.

• Aligns with market trends

• Full microbiological testing
• Regular third-party audits
• Traceability at every stage
Our partners trust us to meet global compliance standards — and we deliver, every time.

People First
We’re proud of the team behind our brand — many of whom have been with us for decades. It’s not uncommon to see two generations of the same family working together in our facility.
This culture of loyalty, care, and pride is what makes SilverPail more than just a workplace — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Sustainability That Matters
While we’re rooted in tradition, SilverPail is always looking forward. Within our organisation, we are actively reducing our footprint through:
• Smarter Energy use
• Effecient Water consumption
• Responsible Waste and Emissions
Externally, we align with global sustainability initiatives:
• Certified by RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil)
• Certified by UTZ (sustainable cocoa farming standard)
Our goal is simple: to protect what matters, from farm to freezer.
Today and Beyond
Today, SilverPail Dairy stands as Ireland’s largest independent ice cream manufacturer. We proudly produce a diverse range of products for both retail and foodservice — from household-name brands to custom private label offerings.
As we grow, our focus remains the same: to craft the highest-quality, best-tasting ice cream on the market and consistently deliver exceptional products at scale, to both Irish and international markets — batch after batch, scoop after scoop.
