Origin and Ownership

The Roshen Confectionery Corporation was founded in 1996 in Kyiv, Ukraine, by Petro Poroshenko, taking its name from the middle syllables of his surname. The business began with the acquisition of the historic Karl Marx Confectionery Factory in Kyiv and subsequently expanded to include production facilities in Vinnytsia, Kremenchuk, and formerly facilities in Hungary and Lithuania. The corporation remains privately owned under the umbrella of Roshen Confectionery Corporation and the Poroshenko family business holdings.

The bulk of Roshen gummy products, including the Yummi Gummi series, are manufactured in Ukraine at Roshen's modern confectionery facilities in Vinnytsia and Kyiv. In European markets such as the Czech Republic, Roshen distributes products through specialized import partners and wholesale confectionery distributors, making its range of chocolates, wafers, and jellies widely available across supermarket shelves and discount retailers.
