In 1891 the famous merchant-distiller Stakheyev founded a distillery in Menzelinsk district. In 1957 it was reformed into liqueur and vodka plant. The history of the enterprise is the continuous production development and modernization aimed at the turnout of high-quality product.
New economic conditions determined the necessity of production re-orientation taking into account market relations. In the shortest possible time from December 1991 till June 1992 the renovation of two filling lines was carried out. The plant is constantly equipped with modern technological equipment.
The following equipment was put into operation: a reverse-osmosis unit “EPRO – 10000” (USA) that ensures water purification from salts, organic matter and microorganisms for 95-99%; an automatic unit (“Model SP”) for source water softening; labelling and filling automatic machines of the Italian company “VIR Mauri”; a unit for acceleration of the infusion period of fruit drinks and extracts. It allows to produce more than 3800 decalitres (76 thous. bottles) of alcoholic drinks a day.
The design capacity of the plant is 780 thous. decalitres of vodka, 138 thous. decalitres of distillery produce per annum.
The plant puts out various distillery produce that is entered in the State Registration Book at the Department of Food and Processing Industry of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. It includes 4 kinds of vodka, dessert drinks, liqueurs, aperitifs.
Menzelinsk distillery works on exclusively natural raw material. Natural ingredients give delicacy to its produce. Healing extracts make the drinks not only tasty and flavoured but also health-giving and curative.
The plant takes a pride in its branded articles: vodka “Stakheyevskaya”, vodka “Menzelinskaya Jubileynaya”, vodka “Pugachyovsky Val”, liqueur “Chernosmorodinovaya”, aperitif “Stepnoy”.
One of the main constituents of success is the close control of quality. The collective of Menzelinsk distillery is proud of its produce that has not only obtained the recognition of the population of our republic but is readily sold outside Tatarstan.
More than 40 awards and medals, won at the most prestigious Russian and international trade exhibitions that took place in Moscow, Sochi, Ufa, Ekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Paris and many other cities serve as a quality rating.
The main aim is the creation of modern production of alcoholic drinks that meet international standards.
In 2002 the plant celebrates its 111th anniversary. Though one can’t call it a good round figure three ones symbolize 3 arrows directed upwards that run through three centuries of the history of enterprise rise and development.
In honour of this unusual date Menzelinsk distillery is going to produce new brand of vodka the name of which is kept secret so far.
