Moscow, September 29, 2004 — Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC announces obtaining the license to export its dairy products to EU countries for the Lianozovo Dairy Plant in Moscow, Wimm-Bill-Dann’s leading production facility.
In March 2004 inspectors from the European Union’s Veterinary Services and the Russian Ministry of Agriculture carried out an audit of the Lianozovo Dairy Plant, including each stage of the dairy manufacturing chain.
In the course of obtaining the license, the manufacturing equipment, production and technological processes, quality control system and laboratory operations, raw materials supply chain and processing were inspected.
Similar audit aimed at obtaining an export license will be performed at the Tsaritsino Dairy Plant and the Baby Food Plant in the very near future.
The need to obtain the license arose from Wimm-Bill-Dann’s plans to expand its export capacity. The company is currently involved in negotiations with retail chains in Latvia, Lithuania and Germany regarding the possible supply of dairy products under Neo, Bio Max, Chudo, Domik v Derevne and Ginger Up brands.
