In 1935, Politkatorzhanin Cooperative Production Enterprise was transferred by the Society of Former Political Prisoners, Transports and Convicts into the competence of the People's Commissariat for the Food Industry, named Lenkhimpischekombinat since that very date.

In 1940, Plant activities included the production of extracts from wild-growing berries and horticultural crops, natural pasteurised juices, aromatic essences, organic solvents, compound ethers, food colors, perfumery colorants, vanillin and enamelled apparatus (in the 1990s, the production of enamelled apparatus and vanillin was discontinued).

A critical stage in the Plant's development was commissioning of the ether and essence workshops aimed at increasing the output of food flavorings (essences) and colorants for confectionary, soft drink, wine-making, and perfumery production and the limitation of imports in furtherance of the Government's instruction. For many years, the Plant fostered cooperation with external customers. These efforts were rewarded in the form of contracts for product supplies concluded not only with domestic but also foreign partners.

Since 2008, interest in the Plant's unique capabilities has steadily grown, as has its share of products manufactured for external customers. As a research-and-production association, the Plant carries out the complete cycle of flavorings creation, from development to industrial manufacture, successfully operating in the market and disposing of proprietary current assets, boasting a wide network of dealers and sales representatives in the largest cities of Russia, the CIS and the Baltic states.

Standard and exclusive recipes of food products containing flavorings and recommendations on their production are developed on a continuous basis. Work is carried out in close cooperation with the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and branch-specific research institutes. Today, the Plant is a strong and ambitious developer and a reliable manufacturer and supplier of flavorings for the food industry.
