JSC “Lipetsky Khladokombinat” was established on December, 30, 1962. Initially it manufactured the limited-line products – ice cream in wafer and paper cups and ice cream bricks in wafers. In 1983 the dry ice department with rated capacity of 2, 2 tons per day was built. In 1991 the enterprise mastered the technology of manufacturing eskimo (ice-cream on a stick).  The start-up of the ice cream extrusion production line “Streitline” in 1997 contributed to the production and sales growth, thus allowing our company to occupy one of the leading positions in the Russian ice cream market. The reconstruction of the ice cream workshop and the installation of the new equipment (ice-cream production lines “Rollo 32”) ended by 2000 let the company increase the range of products by 3 times. Nowadays 9 highly technological modern ice cream production lines function at the enterprise which makes the manufacturing of up to 75 tons of ice-cream per day (about 30 000 tons per year) possible and let us compete not only with domestic companies, but also with foreign ones. The visiting card of the enterprise is the high quality of the product as well as excellent unique taste. The ice cream under brand-name “Lipetskoye” is produced according to the traditional native recipes and undergoes the strict laboratory control during all production phases. It is manufactured from the natural and ecologically clean raw materials, has premium quality and conforms to the world standards. This fact is corroborated by Certificate of Conformity to the international quality standards ISO 9001, which our enterprise, being the first in Russia, obtained in 2002. Currently JSC “Lipetsky Khladokombinat” offers about 80 ice-cream types both with and without various flavourings and fillings. It should me mentioned that we produce different ice-cream packaging: ice-cream in paper and wafer cups, ice-cream in wafer cone, eskimo in
chocolate and coloured icing, fruit ice, ice-cream bricks, large-packed ice cream in coloured plastic containers (family ice cream): In 2004 registration number 1PM-48/3 was assigned to JSC “Lipetsky Khladokombinat” which made the export of the products to the EU-countries possible. In December, 2004 the first consignments of ice-cream were dispatched to Germany. Afterwards the products manufactured by JSC “Lipetsky Khladokombinat” entered and were successfully sold in the markets of such countries as Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Spain and correspondingly Germany. Besides, since 2002 our enterprise has been regularly delivering ice-cream to Israel. JSC “Lipetsky Khladokombinat”, being a dynamically developing enterprise, has remained one of the ten top ice-cream producers in Russia for the past ten years. One of the reasons for successful business activity of our enterprise is our permanent readiness to meet the wishes of our partners.
