Overview
Novoroscement is a Russian cement manufacturing company based in Novorossiysk, in the Krasnodar Krai. Its industrial history reaches back to 1882, when the first cement works in Novorossiysk began operating as the Black Sea Society Cement Production enterprise. That original facility is identified in the company's historical lineage with the plant later known as The Proletariat. The business was reorganized during the Soviet reconstruction period. In 1922, the Novoroscement trust was established as part of efforts to restore cement factories damaged during the Russian Civil War. The trust structure linked the company to the rebuilding of industrial capacity in and around Novorossiysk, a port city whose location and access to local mineral resources supported cement production. After the end of the Soviet Union, the Novoroscement plant was privatized in 1992. The post-Soviet period brought a transition from state-managed industrial production to a joint-stock corporate structure. Oleg Burlakov is described as having played an important role in the company's development after privatization, although the available reference material does not specify a complete chronology of his position or responsibilities. Novoroscement owns three cement plants in Krasnodar Krai: The Proletariat, October, and Pervomajskij. The plants use local raw materials, particularly marl, in the production of cement. This concentration of manufacturing assets in southern Russia gives the company a regional industrial base connected to construction demand in the Krasnodar area and surrounding markets. The reference material identifies Novoroscement as a significant cement producer by the late 2000s. Cement output was reported at approximately 3.8 million tonnes in 2007 and 2009, compared with approximately 4.0 million tonnes in 2008. Reported 2009 revenue was 7.69 billion rubles, down from 14.1 billion rubles in 2008, while reported net profit was 1.29 billion rubles, compared with 6.29 billion rubles in 2008. The same material cites 2007 revenue of approximately US$400 million and net profit of approximately US$215 million under IFRS reporting. These figures are historical and should not be treated as current performance indicators. Novoroscement is best understood as an industrial producer and corporate brand rather than a consumer-facing brand. Its principal activity is the manufacture and supply of cement for construction and infrastructure applications. The available sources do not provide a detailed product catalogue, brand architecture, current ownership chain, current executive roster, official website URL, or recent operating data. Accordingly, the company's present status and current commercial positioning require further verification.
History
Novoroscement's industrial origins date to 1882, when the first cement factory in Novorossiysk was launched under the name Black Sea Society Cement Production. The facility later became known as The Proletariat and remains part of the company's stated historical and operating lineage. The company was reorganized in 1922 through the creation of the Novoroscement trust. This took place during the post-Civil War reconstruction of Russian industry, when damaged factories were being restored and consolidated into administrative and production trusts. The trust's establishment connected Novoroscement with the wider rebuilding of cement capacity in the Novorossiysk area. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Novoroscement plant was privatized in 1992. This marked the company's transition from a Soviet industrial organization into a privatized joint-stock enterprise. The available reference identifies Oleg Burlakov as an important figure in the company's post-Soviet development, but does not provide enough information to establish a complete executive history. By the period described in the available operating information, Novoroscement owned three cement plants in Krasnodar Krai: The Proletariat, October, and Pervomajskij. These facilities used high-quality local mineral resources, especially marl, as inputs for cement production. The company's location in southern Russia and its concentration of plants in the Krasnodar region were central features of its industrial model. The company reported cement production of about 3.8 million tonnes in 2007, 4.0 million tonnes in 2008, and 3.8 million tonnes in 2009. The cited financial information records a substantial decline in reported revenue and net profit between 2008 and 2009: revenue fell from 14.1 billion rubles to 7.69 billion rubles, while net profit fell from 6.29 billion rubles to 1.29 billion rubles. Separate 2007 IFRS figures cited in the reference material give revenue of approximately US$400 million and net profit of approximately US$215 million. These historical numbers are presented for context only; no current financial information is available in the supplied sources. The available account describes all company shares as being owned by a Russian holding company, but does not identify that holding company by name. It also does not establish whether Novoroscement remains active under the same corporate structure, whether its plants have been renamed or transferred, or who its current executives are. Further research is therefore needed to update the company's ownership, operating status, product range, and corporate relationships.
