History
Russky Product was created through the merger of five food manufacturers in 1996 whose various histories start with the N. G. Grigoreva sausages and gastronomic meat products factory established in 1861 followed by the Moscow Food Factory in the 1920s.
The Moscow Food Factory became the first soviet company to master the industrial production of food concentrates in 1932. In 1936, special recipes were created for Papanin’s 1937 nine-month expedition to the extreme north aboard North Pole-1. In 1940 the factory was awarded the Order of Lenin after increasing its production 13-fold to 47,000 tons. By the height of the Great Patriotic War (World War II), production had increased to 80,500 tons in 1942.
In the post-war years the Moscow Food Factory introduced oat flakes brand Hercules that is well-known today as well as becoming the first factory first to produce infant formula and baking mixes on an industrial scale.
The Detchinsky Vegetable Concentrates Factory (DZOK) was built in 1950 subsequently producing dried potatoes, carrots, onions, greens, bulk concentrates, jellies, cottage cheese, dried berries and fruits, and freeze dried meats.
The pasta factory «Supermak» was built in 1959, and the Moscow experimental plant food concentrates factory «Koloss» in 1962. «Koloss» became the first plant in the Soviet Union to industrially produce potato chips.

The company reports that 2018 resulted in a record year for volumes both in tons and rubles.
