Ilsur Metshin on the Bakery Plant: “Caring for employees as a sign of a mature business.”
This year, the Kazan Bakery and Confectionery Plant launched a new, highly automated line for toast bread. The line allows the plant to produce up to 20 tons of product daily with an extended shelf life. The company also renovated its facilities, expanded its distribution network, and created 32 new jobs. Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin and Ivan Yegorov, director of JSC Ak Bars Holding, visited the upgraded production site.
The new line handles the entire process — from raw material preparation and dough kneading to baking, slicing, and packaging. With an annual capacity of 7,200 tons, the launch has created 32 new jobs.
According to Timur Gilmutdinov, General Director of the plant, the products are already being delivered under contracts with federal retailers X5 Retail Group, Magnit, and Lenta. The extended shelf life allows the company to expand sales geography and enter the Volga Federal District market.
During the inspection, the Mayor was walked through the entire toast bread production process. After kneading, the dough is divided into four parts to create a fine-porous structure. A robot then places the lids on the molds before they enter the oven. Baking takes about 45 minutes. Once cooled, the bread is sliced and packaged.
The plant produces around 120 types of products, ranging from traditional and artisan breads to loaves, toast, lavash, and oriental sweets like chak-chak. According to Timur Gilmutdinov, the company is one of the republic’s top baking producers by volume.
Concurrent with the new line commissioning, auxiliary areas underwent modernization. A dough divider with a 20-year service life was superseded by new equipment. During 2025, the company acquired three bread slicing and packaging lines and replaced the loaf line cooler. The facility utilizes a reverse osmosis water treatment system. Infrastructure enhancements included the installation of modernized lighting, replacement of electrical distribution boards, and refurbishment of flooring and utilities, specifically the sewage network and oven foundations. The oil storage depot was fitted with new automated tanks.
