Russia's only producer of sausage casings will expand production in 2023

The only producer of polymeric sausage and sausage casings in Russia, Atlantis-Pak, will expand production next year, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade told Made in Russia.

Earlier RBC reported that Russian meat processors may soon reduce the range of sausages and frankfurters because of the lack of artificial sausage casings after the ban on their exports by the European Union on July 10. According to the newspaper, "Atlantis-Pack" now covers less than 10% of the Russian market and works mainly on imported raw materials.

The agency said that at the end of 2021 the company's market share was about 32% in tons of packaged sausage products. The company's share in plastic barrier sausage casings was 45%, in plastic sausage casings 80%, and in plastic permeable sausage casings 57%.

Today, the Russian manufacturer is among the world leaders in its segment and produces unique casings that have no analogues, the ministry said,

"At the moment "Atlantis-Pack" implements a project to expand capacity for the production of sausage and sausage casings (the project is implemented with a preferential loan of 499.9 million rubles from the Industrial Development Fund) "- added the press service.

New capacities are planned to be put into operation in the first quarter of 2023. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, this will increase the production of sausage casings to 100 thousand and sausage casings - to 290 thousand kilometers.

At the end of last year, the company has already launched two sausage lines, which operate at full capacity.

"Last year, the global plastic casing market amounted to more than 513 million euros (plastic BKO - about 359 million euros; plastic SSO - about 106 million euros; plastic permeable sausage casing (PKO) - about 48 million euros)," the ministry said.
