‘Rumianets’ Bread Plant was opened in 2003, that was the starting point on our way to success. We started from scratch, building our activity on the principles of high quality and full dedication to baking business. Our modern equipment was imported from Austria and Germany, that immediately allowed us to stand out on the market and produce top-quality breads.

We have been baking bread for about 20 years. And we know for sure - Ukrainians love bread. Some people like lard with a slice of rye, some croutons, some toast, some canapés, and we can go on and on, because we are a nation of bread makers and bread lovers.
Practically every Ukrainian has bread in his diet, and "Rumyanets" bread can be added to almost every diet. First of all, a healthy diet, because our breads are "alive". Made with sourdough starter and quality ingredients, they rise and fit with the warmth of our hands. Ukrainians eat bread every day, and if you choose "Rumyanets", we have no right to make a mistake.
This is the goal we set for ourselves, our bread should be delicious every day!
