During 1998-2000, ZAO “Evrotek” buys a number of production facilities and forms the “Evrotek” Group of Companies, which includes 2 oil-extracting factory, 13 grain storage and processing enterprises and a bread-baking plant
In 2003, the Company set about the production of refined oil in a PET bottle under the trademark "Stozhar", which in 2005 ranked third among the Ukrainian trademarks of vegetable oil.
At the end of 2006, the shareholders decided to sell their operational assets and to invest money in the retail market that has been dynamically developing. "Evrotek" engages retail professionals to its team and creates a retail network.
October 24, 2007 in the city of Kerch the Company opens its first supermarket "Fresh", with the sales area of 2400 square meters.
