In 1993 the Group acquired a small bankrupt enterprise and turned it into a modern regional beverage producing plant. In order to meet the growing demand, GC “Borodino” decided to commission new facilities and, thus, to expand the output of beverages. In 2002 the Group acquired another plant in the unique region of Kislovodsk – Kavminvody. That same year the construction of a beverage bottling plant – Borodino-Orenburg was launched.
