The city of Ishim is not so famous as Tyumen, Omsk or Tobolsk. Perhaps the inhabitants of the European part of Russia have not heard of him. It is a major center of the food industry for its region. One of the most famous enterprises can be considered Ishim meat processing plant.
Company History
Ishim meat processing plant is not the oldest in Western Siberia. It has been leading its history since 1976. For example, a meat processing plant in Yalutorovsk was founded in 1953, and in Kurgan - at the beginning of the 20th century. Initially, his profile was pig-breeding, and over 40 years he went through such stages:
- Inter-farm association based on a pigsty.
- State Farm "Jubilee".
- Brewery.
- Meat processing plant (it underwent reconstruction in 2008) with a breeding center with sows.
Now the building of the meat processing plant is located not far from Republic Street in Ishim, and product sales centers are located in Tyumen and Surgut.
Ishimsky Combine is part of the Yubileiny agricultural holding, which occupies 10% of the pork market in the Urals Federal District.
Products and their sales
The assortment of products of Ishim meat processing plant differs from similar enterprises in the region. For example, it does not produce stew from five types of meat or meat chips, as at the NMK in Yalutorovsk. The meat products are mainly made from pork due to its initial specialization.
The following assortment is at the service of consumers:
- Cooked and smoked sausages.
- Hams, sausages and sausages.
- Delicatessen (balyk, boiled pork and loin).
- Bacon.
- Semi-finished products (grill, meat, dumplings, meatballs).
- Offal.
Distributors of the Ishim meat processing plant are located in the Tyumen region - in Tyumen, Surgut, Khanty-Mansiysk and Ishim itself. His products go to stores of various retail chains, so they can be found both in Kazakhstan and in the Sverdlovsk region.
Customer reviews and company reputation
If you look at consumer reviews about products, it is noticeable that they like brisket, boiled sausage and sausages. About dumplings, the reviews are contradictory: someone likes them, but someone doesn't.
If you look for information about the Ishim meat processing plant on various Tyumen sites, it is noticeable that not everything goes perfectly at the enterprise. For example, in 2017, antibiotics and a low protein content were found in sausage, which indicates falsification.
In 2018, it was no longer a meat factory, but the agricultural holding itself received a fine for pollution of pig territory with manure.
Enterprise Competitors
If you walk around the grocery departments of various retail chains of Tyumen, it is noticeable with whom Ishim meat processing plant competes:
- Omsk Bacon.
- TM "Atyashevo" (from Mordovia).
- Novouralsk meat processing plant.
- Products of meat plants in Yalutorovsk and Kurgan.
- Products from Moscow (Tsaritsyno, Cherkizovsky).
A trip to the city of Ishim
If someone tried the products of a meat processing plant and became interested in the city of Ishim, it can be easily reached by one of the trains along the Trans-Siberian Railway that travel from Tyumen to Omsk, as well as by bus from Petropavlovsk in neighboring Kazakhstan.
