Efko has begun a RUB2.6 billion ingredient-production investment project at its Yevdakovo plant in Kamenka, Voronezh Region, Interfax English reported on 4 August 2025. The first phase covers six types of ingredients for food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and agriculture. Planned annual output exceeds 8,000 tonnes once the facility reaches design capacity.
New ingredients and project targets
In its 4 August project announcement, Efko identifies emulsifiers and medium-chain triglycerides, or MCT, including applications in children’s and sports nutrition. Future expansion is intended to include technological solutions for ice-cream producers. Governor Alexander Gusev and chief executive Yevgeny Lyashenko discussed the project’s parameters.
- Investment reported by Interfax: RUB2.6 billion.
- Initial range: six ingredient types.
Emulsifiers already in the company’s range
The new investment follows earlier ingredient development. Efko’s 24 February account of Prodexpo 2025 reported a technology award for Ecomuls DMG60. The company describes that emulsifier as a stabiliser for medium- and low-fat spreads and frozen desserts. Its existing range included saturated monoglycerides, PGPR, PGE and sorbitan esters.
The February announcement therefore documents emulsifier production before the August investment. It does not identify all six ingredients in the new project. The new plant programme expands a business with existing products; the two dated announcements do not establish that each earlier emulsifier is included in its production lines.
Other ingredient work announced before the investment
At an inter-industry seminar reported on 22 April, Efko presented its egg-product range: dried white, dried yolk and liquid melange for meat, confectionery, mayonnaise and sauces. Technologist Elena Strukova described their use in reducing preparation work. Technologist Svetlana Babicheva demonstrated a whipping paste for sponge cakes, intended to increase volume and produce a consistent porous structure.
These dated examples show the applications covered by the wider ingredient division. They are separate from the six-type Yevdakovo investment and do not constitute a specification for its future output.
