Kyiv confectionery factory "Roshen" (Ukrainian: Київська кондитерська фабрика "Рошен"), formerly known as the Karl Marx Kyiv Confectionery Factory[1] (Ukrainian: Київська кондитерська фабрика імені Карла Маркса) is the largest confectionery company in Kyiv, Ukraine, and the most important subdivision of the Roshen Confectionery Corporation.[2]
History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (August 2013)
Kyiv Roshen Factory in the New Year 2012
The factory was founded in 1874 by Valentin Yefimov. In 1875, it had 24 yards and 200 workers were engaged in production. The production volume was about 200 tons per year. The factory produced chocolate, dragees, candies, caramel, marmalade, pastille, jam, gingerbread, tea biscuits, and other sweets.[3]
In 1923, it was named after Karl Marx by the Soviet authorities in order to celebrate his 105th anniversary.
Petro Poroshenko acquired control over the factory soon after its privatization in the 1990s, making it the basis for the future Roshen Corporation; a major modernization with Western equipment followed.
In 2009 closed joint-stock company "Karl Marx Kyiv Confectionery Factory" was renamed to public company ""Kyiv confectionery factory "Roshen"".[4]
The project to revitalize part of the Roshen factory won a bronze medal at the prestigious International Design Awards (IDA).[5]
Products
The factory produces more than 100 different products of confectionery, including a variety of chocolate bars, candies, cakes, cookies, and fruit jellies. Among the factory's best-known brands are: "Kyiv cake"; "Kyiv Vechirniy" chocolate and nut candies; "Chaika", "Teatralnyi" and "Alionka" plain chocolate bars and other products.
