RU RU COMPANY NEWS PRODUCTS COOPERATION IT IS INTERESTING Ecoproduct - mushroom, berry canned food and dried mushrooms / Company / History HISTORY The Ecoproduct company was founded in the summer of 1995. The company was founded on the basis of an enterprise engaged in the procurement of forest mushrooms and berries. In this regard, the initial activity was aimed at harvesting and primary processing of forest food products. Raw materials were exported to Germany and Italy, some of the products were sold domestically. With the collapse of the USSR, the state system of procurement of mushrooms and berries practically ceased to exist, so the company had to re-create its own procurement network. With the help of the company's employees, mycologists and qualified food production technologists, equipment for the primary processing of mushrooms and berries was created, reception points were set up on-site, equipment was imported and personnel was retrained. For several years, an extensive procurement network was created in 15 regions of Russia, which made it possible, even in lean years, to collect and carry out primary processing of a significant amount of mushroom and berry raw materials. During this period, salted and pickled mushrooms exported by the company often returned to Russia in the form of finished products from Germany, Poland and other countries. Russian canned mushrooms of that time were represented only by the "old-regime" can of SKO 0.5-0.7 liters, made in small workshops with outdated equipment that could not compete with beautiful imported jars with twist-off lids. This situation was paradoxical for Russia, which was distinguished by deep historical traditions of using mushrooms. Taking into account this situation, in 1996 the management of the company decided to launch its own production of canned mushrooms and berries. In Ivanteevka near Moscow, canning shops were built, imported and domestic equipment was brought in, a technology was developed and the process of producing first berry and then mushroom canned food was established. Within three years, in terms of volume, quality and assortment of canned mushrooms, Ecoproduct has become the undisputed leader in Russia, significantly displacing imported products. Для увеличения объемов производства и большей специализации в 2000 году «Экопродуктом» было куплено обанкротившееся к тому времени предприятие – Вологодский комбинат пищевых продуктов леса. Предприятие работало с 1930-х годов и выпускало в советский период ягодные и грибные консервы и в большом объеме клюкву в сахарной пудре. На заводе была проведена полная модернизация и запущено производство ягодных консервов – варенья, джемов и ягод, протертых с сахаром. Спрос на продукцию завода постоянно увеличивался и поэтому, в 2004 году было принято решение инвестировать в третий завод. Им стал Меленковский консервный завод во Владимирской области. Этот завод стал специализироваться на производстве в основном овощных и частично грибных консервов, которые выпускаются под торговой маркой «Меленъ». Today the company "Ecoproduct" includes three factories producing mushroom, berry, vegetable canned food and dried mushrooms, as well as several procurement organizations in the European part of Russia and Siberia. The product range includes more than 160 items, many of which are unique, produced only by us. Canned food is in great demand not only in Russia, but also in Germany, USA, Israel, France, Australia, Canada, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other countries.
