Russian consumption has been growing significantly over the last five years, driven in no small part by international companies such as Bonduelle. The brand had been present in the Russian market for over a decade, when Bonduelle took the decision to open its first Russian plant in 2004 in Krasnodar Krai.
In 2012, Bonduelle acquired the Russian operations of French cooperative Centrale Coopérative Agricole Bretonne (CECAB), adding a second plant in Timashevsk to its portfolio. Today, the company is a leading brand of canned vegetables in Russia.
By installing a can line in-house, Crown has been able to streamline Bonduelle’s production process and supply chain in the Novotitarovskaia plant, helping them manage can inventory and simplify their logistics as well as minimising operational downtime and ensuring high-quality products.
The line has been operational since August 2013 and manufactures cans to pack sweetcorn and peas.
