Belebey’s product offering encompasses a portfolio of recognised brands and quality products: traditional Russian cheeses marketed under the Belebeevsky brand and speciality cheeses under the Belfor and Belster brands.
Founded in 1932 and operating in the Republic of Bashkortostan, an important milk-producing region in Russia, Belebey “possesses a significant milk-collection zone and high-performance manufacturing facilities”, the statement said.
“Thanks to this establishment in a country with high cheese consumption, the group will be able to develop a major position in the Russian market with speciality brands,” Savencia added.
