Cherkizovo Group has Rebranded
Cherkizovo Group OJSC has updated its flagship brand in the meat processing division. As of August 2014, products of the company's Cherkizovsky Meat Processing Plant are being marketed under the "Cherkizovo" brand name (formerly "Cherkizovsky"). The logo placed on the products has also been updated.
The updated Cherkizovo brand will emphasize the link between processed meat products and the company’s agribusinesses, according to the group's statement.
Cherkizovsky Meat Processing Plant located in Northeast Moscow was founded in 1974. Igor Babaev (at present, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cherkizovo Group) headed the enterprise in the mid-1990s. He established AIC Cherkizovsky and AIC Mikhailovsky, which were merged into Cherkizovo Group in 2005.
