What Katyusha does
Katyusha (ТПС Катюша) is a privately held Russian manufacturer and distributor of packaging equipment founded in 1998 and headquartered in Moscow. The company sells manual, semi-automatic, and automatic packaging machines (including the LM-180, TS-380, TS-500, PMS-120, PA-500Spec, KC-230, and A450 lines) that use PVC, PP, PE, POF shrink films and BOPP films to produce envelope-style and seam-style packaging for food, cosmetics, publishing, and media products. Its core technology combines thermal sealing with microprocessor-controlled thermostats, conveyor-based automation, and (in select models) quartz infrared heat-shrink tunnels with 24/7 continuous operation capability. Katyusha also sells BluRay, DVD, and CD duplicators and printers, plus consumables such as tear tape, BOPP film, and spare parts.
The business operates a sales-led GTM motion through its own Russian-language e-commerce website (tps-katyusha.ru) with direct phone and email sales support, an in-person showroom at its Moscow office (relocated in March 2025), and Russia-wide delivery via third-party transport companies. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales at fixed ruble prices (manual stations from ~49,388 rubles to semi-automatic systems at ~321,213 rubles), supplemented by a recurring stream from consumables and spare parts. Custom-configured semi-automatic machines are built to order with a 15-working-day lead time and 70-100% prepayment. The company serves SMB and enterprise customers across food and consumer goods, cosmetics and personal care, publishing, and media and entertainment verticals, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding.
