Roma Ltd.

Providing bread products in Pervomaysk

Roma was founded in 1992 by the Tsymbalovy brothers in Pervomayskiy.

The company is involved in trading wholesale and retail food products. Initially they had a store and a network of kiosks. An increase in sales volume allowed them to accumulate the capital necessary to commence production. The bakery was built in 1995 with equipment supplied by the Turkish firm “Khyurmak”. 

In 1996 a decision was made to construct a flour mill equipped by  “Orkimsen”. By utilizing the output of its own flour mill they were able to increase production and sales volume, create new jobs, and supply the bakery with good quality flour.

In 1997 a trade network subsidiary was created to expand the existing networks. They presently own 5 company stores and a trade outlet equipped with modern equipment.

In 1997 a second line of flour milling was started.  In 1998-1999 the production facility of the bakery was expanded and additional equipment was installed.
