We are opening the "Success Story" section, where we will talk about Omsk enterprises that implement large-scale investment projects in the region.
Omsk-based VITO company is the first serial producer of pulp in Russia. Since 2018, it has been producing egg noodles, and since 2020, a workshop for the production of "glass" noodles, funchosa, has been launched. In November 2022, the third production site for the production of dry soy asparagus was launched. The company's products are produced under the trademarks RusAsia, Eurasia, Samadhi, Pekarev & K and Pasta Prima, Lenta, Globus, Magnit, under the license of the federal brand Yulia Vysotskaya "We Eat at Home". The products are supplied to all regions of Russia and neighboring countries.
During the period of the company's cooperation with the Government of the Omsk Region and joint work with the regional Agency for Development and Investment, a major investment project was implemented in 2021: "An enterprise for the production of durum wheat noodles, funchosa and rice noodles in the city of Omsk." In 2023, the project "Construction of a soybean processing plant in the city of Omsk" was launched.
"The investment volume of the projects is about 170 and 200 million rubles. The company has chosen an import substitution strategy in accordance with the tasks that the Government of the Russian Federation has set for us. The Agency's specialists provided support to the investor on a one-stop-shop basis: consultations were held, issues were worked out with the executive authorities and the administration, the company received land plots for lease without bidding," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.
The current VITO project provides for the construction of a soybean processing plant in Omsk. The plant's capacity will be 672 tons of asparagus and 1.78 thousand tons of oilcake per year. The investor plans to invest 218.8 million rubles in the project.
"The production facility will be located in the Oktyabrsky district. As a measure to support the region, we will provide a plot of land for construction. The launch of production is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024," the head of the region, Vitaly Khotsenko, said at a meeting of the investment headquarters.
It should be noted that in July of this year, the company started implementing lean technologies in the production of "glass" noodles with the help of expert support from specialists from the Regional Competence Center as part of the implementation of the national project "Labor Productivity".
