In autumn 2008, Sarapul-Moloko re-equipped the milk processing line by installing Italian equipment Frautech. This allowed the company to process and pack milk without human participation, resulting in a significant reduction of labour costs and the highest quality products.

The opening date of Tsentralnaya Molochnaya, that was the name of the future factory, is considered to be April 15, 1932, when it was put into operation, thereby laying the foundation for the development of the dairy industry in the capital of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1960, it changed its name to Kazan Dairy Factory. The factory became a part of the Milk Processing Sub-holding in July 2017 as the sixth production site, and in mid-September launched its first products. A three-stage large-scale reconstruction of production and infrastructure is planned at the factory, and, at the beginning of 2019, the main modernization works have been implemented. Investments in the reconstruction of the factory will amount to more than 3.5 billion rubles.
Currently, the factory’s production capacity allows it to process more than 500 tons of milk per day. Full modernization will increase this amount up to 1,000 tons of milk per day, and provide jobs for more than a thousand people. Tax payments will amount to about 1.1 billion rubles per year. This will help the company to firmly establish itself and become the main site in the structure of the MILKOM sub-holding.
