Gorbys Piroger

Gorbys is a well-known Swedish brand specializing in frozen pirogues, particularly famous for its 'Original' meat-filled variety. The brand was launched in 1989 by the Swedish food company Gunnar Dafgård AB. It was named after Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader at the time, as a nod to the product's Russian-inspired origin during the Glasnost era.

The product is manufactured in Källby, Sweden, by Gunnar Dafgård AB, which remains a family-owned business. It has grown to be a staple convenience food in Sweden, found in almost every grocery store's freezer section. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Dafgård family, maintaining its status as a private, domestic enterprise.
