Roshen is a prominent confectionery manufacturer originally founded in Ukraine. The brand was established in 1996 by Petro Poroshenko after the privatization of several Soviet-era state chocolate factories. Its name is derived from the middle syllables of the founder's surname, 'Po-ROSHEN-ko'. Over the decades, it has grown from a local producer into one of the largest confectionery businesses in the world, often appearing in international rankings of major candy manufacturers.
While the brand's heart remains in Ukraine—with major production facilities in Kyiv, Vinnytsia, and Kremenchuk—Roshen has expanded its manufacturing footprint significantly. The company operates factories in Lithuania and Hungary, and its products are distributed across dozens of countries in Europe, Asia, and North America. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Petro Poroshenko through a trust structure, maintaining its position as a major Ukrainian industrial success story and a staple in the confectionery market of many Eastern European nations.
