Evgeny Lyashenko, EFKO CEO
«Built more than 15 years ago, the Pishchevye Ingredienty facility in Taman has grown to be a significant business for EFKO and the industry as a whole. The company's proximity to its deep-water port and the integration of technical processes throughout all site enterprises allow for yearly production capacity optimization, a major contribution to food security, and an increase in Russian product exports. The factory produces around 500,000 tons of products annually, including universal and specialty oleos (specialty fats), confectionery fats, milk fat substitutes, and cocoa butter equivalents. Each day, these products are subjected to several hundred quality and safety tests. Particular attention should be paid to the company's technical equipment, which includes a desalination plant that has lessened the strain on the area's infrastructure, an automated warehouse complex, and its own power generation system. The entire EFKO team is inspired to keep up the good work, expand the product line, and live up to the honorary title of a three-time award winner by this high acknowledgment on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation and the award experts.»
