Industries

Fozzy Group operates the CJSC (Nezhinskiy canning) production facilities for the Nizhyn brand of canned fruit and vegetables. The company exports its canned food products internationally, including to North America, Eastern Europe and Asia. Additional industrial lines owned and operated by the company are a poultry farm named Varto Ltd., a meat-processing plant named Ruta LLC that produces manufactured meat and sausages, and a company named Eco-service Ukraine LLC involved in the commerce and servicing of portable toilets.

Premiya

The company markets products under its own private label brand named "Premiya". Some products under the Premia brand include certified organic sturgeon caviar, sandwiches and cream cheese. Another Premiya-brand product is fresh live herbs for cooking that are planted in pots, which are available to consumers in this form.

Wine importing

Fozzy Group also imports wines into Ukraine from 34 wine producers (as of May 2011), including brands from Italy, Germany, Hungary, France, Italy, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, and South Africa. As of May 2011, the company was the sole importer of wines from the Italian winery Inama into Ukraine.

In February 2003, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office announced that several cases involving tax evasion, counterfeit vodka and illegal equipment sales had been opened against Fozzy Group. Additionally, accusations were made by the Prosecutor General’s Office that Fozzy Group engaged in illegal money laundering. At the time, Vladimir Kostelman, President of the company, stated that the Prosecutor General’s Office findings regarding tax evasion were based upon incorrect figures, and that Fozzy Group had not engaged in any illegal activities. It was also reported at the time that Kostelman "hinted that his company was framed by tax officials and that Ukrainian businesses are currently not safe from corruption."
