A. Korkunov is a luxury chocolate maker in Russia, founded in 1999 by two entrepreneurs, Andrey Korkunov and Sergey Lyapuntsov. The company has a production facility in Odintsovo,[2] just outside Moscow, and sells its chocolate products across Russia and internationally.
A. Korkunov has been named a "Top 10" brand in Russia by both Young & Rubicam and the Rus Brand Independent Organization.[3] It is also the only native Russian brand with an awareness level on par with those of leading global consumer goods brands—such as Sony, Gillette and BMW—according to the Young & Rubicam "Power Brand" ranking. The company drew from the emblems and old writings of Tsarist Russia to connect the brand with richness and luxury.[4] Outside of Russia and the CIS, A. Korkunov products are sold in the United States, Germany, Lithuania, and China.[5]
