“We intend to continue the history of this renowned meat processing plant in its best traditions. We plan to revive the team-spirited workforce, improve the quality of life of the local population and gain public recognition again by producing high quality recognizable products,” Victoria Serbat, CEO of ООО “ММК” said. “When the plant starts working at its full capacity, we will be able to produce up to 15 tonnes of dry sausages and 50 tonnes of cooked and smoked sausages a day. Moreover, the number of the personnel will be increased to 400 employees.”
Currently, the company is installing a brand new block-modular boiler house which will cost-effectively support the year-round needs of the meat processing plant in heat and hot water.

The modernized plant will be equipped with the unique for “Agrocoplex” climate chambers for fermentation and drying which has never been used before due to the limited volumes of the traditional production of dry sausages. The renovated plant will also be equipped with the solutions for slicing and portion cutting, as well as for the production of whole muscle delicacies with a uniform shape and fixed weight. The new output of dry, cooked and smoked sausages and delicacies is expected to be available by May 2022.
“The buyers still remember “Armenian”, “Braunshweig” and the sudjuk sausages produced by the Medvedovsky Meat Processing Plant as the most delicious sausages in the Kuban region. We intend to keep this part of the product range and to add new recipes. We also plan to sell all those products in the medium-price segment and higher under the new brand. We wish those premium products to be our trademark,” also said Victoria Serbat.
