Russian Fishery

What Russian Fishery does

Russian Fishery Company (OOO Russkaya Rybopromyshlennaya Kompaniya, RRPK) is a privately held Russian LLC and one of the world's largest harvesters of wild Alaska pollock (mintay). Headquartered in Vladivostok (Primorsky Krai) with manufacturing coordination at Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg, the company holds fishing rights exceeding 452,000 tons annually and operates a fleet of 10 vessels, including five next-generation ST-192 supertrawlers capable of catching and processing 60,000 tons of fish per year each — roughly 2.5x the capacity of legacy Far East fleet vessels. Controlling shareholder Gleb Frank (since February 2018) oversees a governance structure led by CEO Konstantin Globenko and Board Chairman Savely Karpukhin (appointed July 2025); the company employs 2,500+ people.

The core technology is the ST-192 supertrawler, a 'floating factory' platform with on-board deep processing that converts 100% of catch into fillets, minced fish, surimi (up to 80 tons/day per vessel), pollock roe, fish oil, and fish meal (up to 40 tons/day), with single freezing at sea within hours of catch to preserve quality. The fleet is being built under Russia's investment quota program, with 10 vessels under construction at Admiralty Shipyards and one at Tersan Shipyard in Turkey; the program is scheduled for completion in 2027. The product portfolio spans B2B raw materials (pollock fillets, surimi, meal, oil, roe) for industrial customers and branded consumer products (Fish Fingers, 250g packs) for retail.

Revenue is generated through B2B sales contracts with federal and regional Russian retail chains (Auchan, O'KEY, Perekrestok, Samberi), HoReCa accounts (Millionka, Vinoterra, Uliss Asia, Madame Mei, House of Russian Cuisine at VDNKh, Kroshka Kartoshka's 169 fast-food locations via VICI crab), food-processing partners (Sweet Life Group, Russian Cod JV with Agama Group), and direct export to Asia-Pacific markets (China as the second-largest market, plus Japan and South Korea). Volume is split approximately 40% domestic / 60% export. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set via B2B contracts and export arrangements. The company actively invests in demand generation through the annual O!Mega Taste gastronomic festival (4th edition in 2026, 40+ restaurants, ~50,000 street-event visitors, 220+ tons sold in retail, 8 tons in restaurants), the O!Mega Battle culinary competition, and the 'Far Eastern Pollock' category-brand program.
