KDV confectionery

KDV Group is one of Russia's largest food groups, specializing in the production of confectionery, snacks, and tea. Founded in the 1990s, the brand began as a small confectionery factory in Tomsk and quickly expanded through the strategic acquisition of numerous regional factories and competing brands. Today, KDV is a vertically integrated holding company, controlling the entire production chain from agricultural raw materials to final distribution.

The group is well-known for popular brands such as Yashkino, Kirieshki, and Babkiny Semechki. While its primary manufacturing hub remains in Russia, particularly in the Siberia and Voronezh regions, the company has expanded its operations to include production facilities in neighboring countries like Uzbekistan to serve international markets. KDV remains under the ownership of its founder, Denis Shtengelov, and is headquartered in Tomsk, Russia.
