Factory "Red October": history

The founder of this most famous manufacturer of sweets in the country is Ferdinand Theodor von Einem. This German entrepreneur came to Moscow in 1850 to start his own business. In 1957, Einem met his future partner in Russia - talented businessman Y. Geis. First, the partners founded a small Candy store. Later, they began building their own factory on the banks of the Moscow River.

The first three-story building was erected by entrepreneurs on the street. Then the businessmen built a larger factory on Bersenevskaya embankment. The company of Yu. Geis and Einem produced products of very high quality. First of all, it was precisely because of this that she soon became unusually in demand among consumers.

For a long time, Einem was considered the best confectionery factory in Russia. After the October Revolution, it was nationalized and named "State Confectionery Factory No. 1". In 1922, the plant was renamed "Red October". But for a long time, the name "Former Einem" was on the products manufactured at this enterprise.

Today "Red October" is the largest confectionery factory in Russia, which has accumulated vast experience in the production of sweets. It supplies 64,000 tons of products per year to the domestic and world markets. 2.9 thousand workers work in the workshops of the factory. The main plant is still located in the capital. The company also has several branches - in Kolomna, Ryazan, Egorievsk.

Currently, on the territory of this factory, among other things, there is a museum of its history. And any resident or guest of the capital can view its expositions at any time. Entrance to the museum of the enterprise "Red October" is free.

The most demanded products of the factory

Thus, it is "Red October" that is the most famous confectionery factory in Russia. Sweets from this manufacturer are really just very popular. The best brands of sweets from the Krasny Oktyabr factory are as follows:

• "Kara-Kum".

In addition to sweets and chocolate, Krasny Oktyabr supplies the market, of course, with other confectionery products. At the moment, this manufacturer produces more than three hundred items of sweet products.

The history of the enterprise "Rot Front"

It rightfully occupies the second place in the rating of confectionery factories in Russia. This enterprise was founded in our country even earlier than the Einem plant - in 1826. Its first owners were Russian merchants, the Leonov brothers. Initially, only fudge and caramel were produced in the workshop they opened. This small enterprise was located in Zamoskvorechye.

The factory was expanded in 1890 by E. Leonova, heiress of its founders. Especially for this purpose, the owner of the workshop acquired several plots of land. The factory was called in those days simply - "Confectionery production".

Like all other enterprises in the country, Leonova's confectionery was nationalized in 1917. It was renamed "Rot Front" in 1931 as a sign of solidarity with the German communists. The reason was a visit to Moscow by a delegation from Germany this year.

Products of the factory "Rot Front"

Today, this enterprise supplies the market with about 50 thousand tons of sweet products per year. In stores you can buy more than two hundred items made in the workshops of the plant. But the main share of the products of this manufacturer is still sweets.

The visiting card of the Rot Front enterprise, which occupies the second place in the rating of confectionery factories in Russia, are the following brands:

• "Golden domes".
• "Autumn Waltz".
• "Sissy".
• Lux Amaretto.
• "Grillage".
• "Forest story", etc.

Apart from High Quality, the products of this manufacturer are also quite affordable. This is what makes it very popular with the consumer.

Concern "Babaevsky"

This confectionery factory in Russia has been known for a very long time, its history goes back more than 210 years. Now it is the oldest manufacturer of confectionery products in our country.

The Babaevsky concern was created in Moscow in 1804. The founder of this enterprise was then the former serf Stepan. The first confectionery products produced by this master were made using apricots. They were very popular with Muscovites. In honor of these inventors, his customers even came up with a surname - Abrikosov.

Gradually, Stepan's workshop grew into a real factory, and for a long time supplied sweets, including to the imperial court.

The factory of entrepreneurs Abrikosov was nationalized in 1918. Four years after that, she was given the name "Babaevskaya" (by the name of the then head of the Sokolniki district executive committee).

Concern products

Currently, "Babaevsky" supplies more than 129 items of various confectionery products to the domestic and world markets. The most popular brands of sweets from this manufacturer are the following:

• "Babaevskaya squirrel".

Factory "Samara"

The products of this manufacturer in the past enjoyed great popularity in the country. The Samara confectionery factory was founded in Russia by the merchants Kargin and Savinov. In 1904, products from this manufacturer won the Grand Prix at an exhibition in France and gained worldwide fame.

Today, the Samara factory, unfortunately, has practically left the trading arena. In Soviet times, it was renamed the Kuibyshev Confectionery Plant. The factory was later sold to Nestle.

Confectionery "Russian Chocolate"

This company was founded relatively recently. The Russian Chocolate factory produced its first products in 1998. Due to the excellent quality, sweets and chocolates of this brand quickly gained popularity among domestic consumers.

Now this confectionery factory in Russia occupies one of the leading places in the production of sweets. In 2007, the enterprise became part of the United Confectioners holding. In 2012, this manufacturer began supplying the FELICITA chocolate brand to the market.

The main feature of the products manufactured by Yasnaya Polyana is the absence of preservatives. All products produced by this factory are made from environmentally friendly natural products. Today, this plant is part of the Krasny Oktyabr group of enterprises.

The most popular products from this famous confectionery factory in Russia are:

Also, it is at this enterprise that the famous Tula gingerbread is produced. This kind of regional pastry is popular not only among consumers in Russia, but all over the world. A feature of this baking is that, firstly, it does not get stale for a long time, and secondly, it does not break on a bend. Consumers also consider the filling of Tula gingerbread to be very tasty. It can be made from raspberries, prunes, cherries. A patent was even issued to the Yasnaya Polyana factory for the manufacture of the Tula Gingerbread sweet.

Instead of a conclusion

Manufacturers on Russian market actually exists today great amount. For example, products from the Yuzhuralkonditer, Zeya, Takf factories, etc. are in great demand among consumers. But the products of the enterprises described above are sold out in stores the fastest. The sweets of these six confectionery factories in Russia have earned the greatest consumer confidence, and they are rightfully included in the list of the best candy and chocolate producers in the country.

Candies are confectionery products obtained from a mass that is made on the basis of sugar, with various additives. They differ in shape, taste, aroma and processing method.

Technological stages

The production of sweets is divided into several stages.

1. The very first is the preparation of a mass of sugar, molasses, agar, water, butter, milk and flavorings. Depending on the type, its composition and the temperature at which the ingredients are mixed and acquire the desired consistency are determined.
2. The next step is the formation of candy. The most common method of casting the mass into starch. It allows you to make many types of sweets. When pouring fondant, you need 70 degrees; milk and fruit filling - 100; jelly on agar - 75, on pectin - 95, on caraginan - 80. Production of sweets with liqueur filling is possible at 95 degrees. For the formation, sifted and dried corn starch is used. In addition to forming the body of sweets, it is also involved in removing excess moisture from the surface by absorbing it.
3. The third stage is glazing. Candy production may or may not include this process. Glaze is needed so that the product stays fresh longer, not hard and not dried out. Chocolate can also act as it. Confectionery glaze is not covered with a whitish coating, since it does not have fat subsidence. And real chocolate is not immune from this. Although such a raid is harmless, appearance may be corrupted.
4. Drying completes the production of sweets. It is carried out in special chambers with the possibility of cooling for the speedy structuring of the body and hardening of the glaze or chocolate. Then it remains only to pack delicious products in wrappers or boxes.

Candy making ingredients

This type of sweets consists mostly of sugar. Sweets may also contain molasses, berries and fruits, honey, nuts, sunflower, sesame. In addition, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, cocoa products dairy production, wine, coffee and vanilla. Components such as fats of animal origin, less often vegetable, and eggs are also part of the candy mass, which is very different.

• For example, a syrup made from sugar is used for fudge. Sweets are prepared by boiling it with molasses.
• If you add milk, you get milk fudge, and if baked milk, then creme brulee.
• Milk fillings differ from fudge by the high content of this product. Fruit mass is obtained by boiling fruits and berries with the addition of flavors and flavors.
• Jelly fillings consist of sugar, molasses, gelatin or agar. Fruit and berry raw materials are often added.
• Pralines and nut fillings consist of roasted nuts, sugar and fats. Whipped mass is similar to gelatinous foam and is made from sugar syrup, egg whites, agar and flavorings.
• Roasting filling includes fruit mass or sugar and crushed nuts. Marzipan sweets are made by grinding almonds with molasses and powdered sugar.
• Cream fillings consist of mixed and whipped chocolate, fondant masses and pralines with fats. Liquor additives are prepared from sugar, alcohol solution and flavorings.

Equipment

The candy mass is cast into starch on a special candy casting machine. Piston pumps feed the mixture through a heating funnel. Equipment for the production of sweets from fondant, fruit, jelly and milk mass is equipped with a gear pump. With the help of it, the mass is pumped into the funnels of the casting machine.

Liqueur and whipped mixture is loaded manually. Special equipment for the production of sweets stamps cells of various shapes and sizes. It is used to ensure that the structure of the products in the trays does not collapse.

For storage of products, a warehouse with a temperature regime of 20 degrees and humidity up to 75% is used.

Technology for making caramel

The process consists in the preparation of the mass, its cooling, dosing, rolling and molding, separating the layer into sweets, and feeding it into packaging. Initially, the moisture content of sugar-treacle caramel syrup is about 15%. In the process of boiling, it decreases tenfold.

Then the resulting mass is molded and cooled to 45 degrees, wrapped in a wrapper, packed in packs and packed in boxes. The technology for the production of caramel sweets involves the presence of a digester with a stirrer, an intermediate tank, a temperature table, forming rollers, a conveyor-type cooling machine, a vibrating tray and packing tables. Such a line has a capacity of 150 kg of caramel per hour and costs approximately 1.3 million rubles.

Technology for making truffles

A similar amount will be required for the purchase of equipment for the production of truffle sweets. They are made from cocoa, toffee essence, coconut oil. The process of creating truffles consists of the following operations: preparation of candy mass, tempering (production chocolates it is indispensable), shaping the body, cooling, dusting with cocoa powder, finishing and packaging.

The production line is made up of a digester, tempering machine, churning, depositing, cooling conveyor equipment, glazing machines, steam generator, conveyor belt for feeding products to stacking. It has a capacity of 150 kg per hour and costs from one to one and a half million rubles. Equipment pays off, as a rule, in 6-8 months.

Dragee preparation technology

The cheapest line for making small round sweets in sugar shell. Dragee is a body with an outer coating rolled onto it. This is done in a special rotating boiler, set at an angle. First, the base is prepared, which is then coated and glossy.

Finished products are packaged and packaged. This is the simplest and cheapest production, including a micromill, a digester, a dragee drum, a sugar sifter, and a packaging machine. Such a line costs 200 thousand rubles and produces 100 kg of products per hour. For its installation, a room of 30 m 2 is required, and only three people can serve it.

Most people love sweets and cannot imagine life without sweets. Thanks to this attachment, not only chocolates and sweets become famous, but also the factories that produce them. Today we will tell you about the confectionery factories in Russia, whose products are loved by sweet tooth.

Factory "Red October"

The hit parade of Russian confectionery factories is headed by the most famous plant in the industry - Krasny Oktyabr. The company opened its doors in 1851, when Theodor von Einem founded a workshop for the production of sweets on the main street of Moscow. By 1867 the workshop had become the first steam confectionery factory in Russia.

The company successfully developed until the October Revolution, when the Bolshevik government decided to nationalize the enterprise. The Krasny Oktyabr plant, recreated on the basis of Einem's production, became the leading manufacturer in the USSR. IN Soviet years to this day, "Red October" is the manufacturer of such well-known brands as "Alenka", "Mishka kosolapy", "Korovka", "Kara-Kum" and in terms of production is ahead of the largest confectionery factories in Russia.

Plant "Rot Front"

Many confectionery factories in Russia were founded during the time of Tsarist Russia. The factory "Rot Front" is one of the oldest enterprises. It grew out of a small handicraft workshop, which was created in 1826 by the Lenovy merchants. In 1918, the company was nationalized and renamed "Rot Front". Such a strange name was chosen as a sign of solidarity with the German communists and is translated from German literally as "Red Front".

In the Soviet years, chocolate and sweets produced at the enterprise were popular in the USSR. Not all well-known confectionery factories in Russia of the Soviet era could offer such a wide range of products as Rot Front - the company produced almost two hundred different types sweets. The most modern confectionery equipment at that time was installed at the factory. In 1980, the production of the first chewing gum in the USSR was launched here. The enterprise is known for the brands "Grillage", "Rot Front" and the legendary "Bird's milk".

Concern "Babaevsky"

The rating of Russian confectionery factories will be incomplete without mentioning the "Babaevsky" concern, which turns 213 this year. The company was founded by the former serf Stepan Abrikosov, who loved sweets. It gained fame thanks to the children and grandchildren of the founder - they turned a small workshop into the largest factory in Russian Empire. Few candy factories in Russia at that time could compete with the Abrikosov and Sons Partnership. The plant's products late XIX century was supplied to the table of the emperor.

The modern name of the enterprise, like many Russian confectionery factories, acquired with the advent of Soviet power. Since the 1930s, the factory has received the title of the largest producer of caramel, montpensier and toffee. Today, the Babaevsky concern is part of the United Confectioners, the largest confectionery holding in Russia, replenishing the range with such famous brands like "Petrel" and "Inspiration".

Factory "Samara" (Nestle)

Among the most famous candy factories in Russia is the Samara factory, which has now left the trading arena. The enterprise was founded at the very beginning of the 20th century by two Samara merchants Savinov and Kargin. Already by 1904, his products gained European fame, having won the Grand Prix at an exhibition in France.

Under Soviet rule, the enterprise was renamed the Kuibyshev factory and was one of the best confectionery factories in Russia until the war. The factory is currently owned by Nestle.

The largest confectionery enterprises in Russia trace their history back to pre-revolutionary times. Most of them managed to successfully survive the October Revolution, the collapse of the USSR and the "dashing" 90s. Now new horizons are opening up for the best Russian manufacturers. And we really hope that they will take advantage of the opportunities that have opened up and stand on a par with such giants as Nestle, Ferrero and Mars.

The foundation of the Krasny Oktyabr confectionery factory has its roots in the late 40s - early 50s. XIX century. In 1846, a Prussian subject, Ferdinand Theodor Einem, arrived in Moscow. On December 6, 1849, the confectioner "had the good fortune to supply" products of his skill to the table of members of the imperial family, and for those products he received the highest approval of the Empress and Grand Duchesses. In 1851, he opened a small shop for the production of sawn sugar and chocolate on the Arbat. By the end of the 60s, the Einem company was already known in the Russian confectionery market, its turnover was growing rapidly and it became necessary to build a large factory. In 1867 a factory opens on Sofiyskaya Embankment, directly opposite the Kremlin. At this time, the factory has only 20 workers. In 1870 a three-story factory for the production of biscuit was built on Bersenevskaya embankment, and since 1889. the territory on Bolotny Island begins to be actively developed. Since 1869 F.T. Einem invites Julius Geis as a partner, who buys out 20% of the company's shares, and after Einem's death in 1876. becomes the owner of the company. By this time, the Einem enterprise had two factories in Moscow: (on Sofiyskaya and Bersenevskaya embankments), a workshop for the production of fruit juices, compotes in Simferopol, and three stores on the central streets of Moscow. Turnover of the enterprise in 1876. already reached 600,000 rubles.

In 1886 Y. Geis creates Joint-Stock Company"Association of the steam factory of chocolate, sweets and tea biscuits Einem". The company's turnover increased rapidly and by 1914. reaches 7,800,000 rubles. The total number of workers and employees is 2,800 people. All production at factories is equipped according to the most the latest technologies of that time with the most ideal observance of hygiene and cleanliness. Supplying vast Russia with its products, Einem has six elegantly furnished stores that are very popular in the capital and its environs. At the All-Russian Exhibition in 1896. (Nizhny Novgorod) "Einem Partnership" was awarded the State Emblem, and at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 - two "Grand-Prix".

In 1913, the "Einem Partnership" was honored to become the supplier of the Court of His Imperial Majesty.

November 15, 1918 the factory was nationalized and named "State Confectionery Factory No. 1". July 13, 1922 general meeting labor collective The factory decided to rename the State Factory No. 1 (former Einem) into the Red October factory. From 1922 to May 31, 1934 the factory was under the jurisdiction of the MSNKh (Moscow Council National economy at the Moscow Regional trade department Mosselprom.

During the years of the Great Patriotic War 50% of the equipment was evacuated to the city of Kuibyshev, more than 500 people volunteered for the front, the factory continued to produce confectionery products even in larger volumes than then in peacetime in the 50s. Production went to the front. At this time, by order of the government, a new chocolate "Guards" was created. Since 1942 pilots began to receive it, and the factory produced Cola chocolate for submarine sailors. Workshop No. 6 was created at the factory to produce products for the front: flame arresters for aircraft, colored smoke bombs for the fleet, porridge concentrates in briquettes. The factory was awarded the Banner of the State Defense Committee as the winner in the socialist competition.

After the war, the reconstruction of the factory begins. Production lines are introduced for the first time. In 1947-49. the caramel shop was automated, in 1951 - 53. - chocolate, candy shops.

Since 1959 the factory is called the Moscow confectionery factory "Red October". In 1961 for the first time in the USSR, complex-mechanized production lines for the production of cast iris were created at the factory. By 1965 40 complex-mechanized production lines for the production of confectionery products worked at the factory. Production lines developed by the Krasny Oktyabr factory were installed in almost all confectionery industries Soviet Union. On these lines, new varieties of sweets, caramel, chocolate were developed and produced.

July 8, 1966 By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, "Red October" was awarded the highest government award - the Order of Lenin.

Krasny Oktyabr constantly mastered and produced new varieties of products: Red Poppy®, candies Stolichny®, Truffeli®, Yuzhny Nut®, Golden Label® and others. In 1965 the factory began to produce a new milk chocolate "Alenka"®, which later became the most famous brand of the factory. In 1977, the Krasny Oktyabr confectionery factory was transformed into an experimental one. 1996 – Krasny Oktyabr was renamed into JSC Krasny Oktyabr. 2002 - as part of the growing influence of transnational corporations in the Russian market, in order to create worthy competition for domestic producers of foreign confectionery manufacturers, Krasny Oktyabr OJSC became part of the United Confectioners holding.

The new production site of the Krasny Oktyabr factory was opened on the territory of the Babaevsky Concern in 2007. The transfer was carried out in stages, without stopping production process. The new building of Krasny Oktyabr has equipment for the production of chocolate masses, icing, chocolate, chocolate bars and sweets with various fillings.

Currently, the factory produces more than 240 types of confectionery products under the brands "Alenka"®, "Mishka clumsy"®, "Little Red Riding Hood"® and others.
