DELTA FOOD

What DELTA FOOD does

DELTA FOOD (legal entity LLC TD Delta, ТОВ ТД «Дельта») is a privately held Ukrainian food manufacturer founded in 2009 in Zaporizhia by Roman Mishchenko, currently led by CEO Taras Kutko. The company operates two production facilities—one in Zaporizhia and a newer site in Ostriv village, Ternopil region, established in April 2022 after production was relocated due to the war—and a regional sales office, DELTA FOOD EUROPE, in Riga, Latvia. Core technology includes modern cooking equipment for mayonnaise and sauces (capacity scaled from 200 tons/month to 2,000 tons/month), industrial homogenization for emulsion stability, sunflower oil refining and deodorization, doupack and fill-pack packaging lines, and PET bottle oil filling. Headcount is reported in the 251-500 range, and production capacity is 25,000 tons/year.

The business runs two complementary revenue streams. The dominant stream is B2B private label (STM/VTM) contract manufacturing of mayonnaises, sauces, ketchups, mustards, and sunflower oil under retailers' own brands, holding approximately 80% of Ukraine's private label mayonnaise market and serving 100+ SKUs across more than 30 Ukrainian partners and 25+ international clients. The second stream is the company's own consumer brand TM Gulyai-pole (mayonnaises 30-72% fat, flavored sauces, ketchups, mustard, sunflower oil, corn sticks), which holds roughly 6% of the Ukrainian mayonnaise market and is distributed through all major Ukrainian retail channels plus D2C via prom.ua and HoReCa in bulk formats. Exports account for 33% of production volume to 10+ countries including France, Germany, Czech Republic, Lithuania, China, and Georgia, with additional export brands (Oleos, TAUTAS, SILA, JABEL Foods) for packaged sunflower oil. Certifications include ISO 22000:2018, IFS, and Halal, with FSSC 22000 planned for 2027; the company achieved a 95.59% (A rating) on a major VTM customer audit in May 2026.
