Joint-Stock Company Permalko (Russian: Открытое акционерное общество «Пермалко», lit. 'Okrytkoye aktsionernoye obshchestvo Permalko') is one of the leading distilleries in Perm and Perm Kray. The company is in the top 20 list of vodka and spirits producers in Russia.

History

[edit]
A distillery and wine warehouse, at the turn of twentieth century.

On January 1, 1895, the first state distillery in Perm was founded.[1] It was the beginning of state wine trading in Perm Governorate. For some period of time it was operated under the name Winery No. 12.

By February 1900 a state wine warehouse was built nearby (by architect A. B. Turchevitch) (nowadays the building is a monument of architecture of regional significance[2][3]).

Winery No. 12.
The first plant’s personnel.

During the revolution of 1917 and the Civil War there was a restrictive policy on the production and sale of alcohol. The order of November 8th, 1917 declared that the production and trading alcohol in the country was prohibited and the plant ceased its activities. The part producing alcohol was closed and the equipment was dismantled.[4]

In 1926 when the newly formed Soviet state started its economic activity the plant recommenced its operation. In Soviet times the plant was renamed into «Perm Spirits Producer».

During the World War II the part of the enterprise was given to the Ukrainian mechanical engineering plant. On October 24, 1945, the mechanical plant was moved back returned to the Ukraine, main building and a number of service areas were destroyed.[5]

The peak of production was in 1960s — mid1980s when the following vodka brands were delivered: Moskovskaya, Stolichnaya, Russkaya, Posolskaya and others. The assortment included approximately 60 product names among which there were various punches, sweet and semi-sweet liqueurs.

During 1985–1987 an anti-alcohol campaign with partial prohibition, known as the "dry law" was carried out so the plant had to significantly reduce its production[citation needed]

In 1993 as a result of privatization Perm Spirits Producer became a public company and got its current name «Permalko». In those days the plant’s shares mostly belonged to the administration of the Perm region.

In 2005 the administration announced the privatization of their holdings of shares.[6]

Present Days

[edit]

In 2006 the company went private; the majority stake in the company was acquired SPI Group.[7][8]

In the same year a new bottling house was equipped with Italian and German machines; since September 2007 Permalko has been using the low-temperature technology in alcohol production.[9]

Permalko has a wide sales geography: CIS countries, the USA, Europe and Africa.[10][11][12][13]

All the drinks are based on Lux and Alfa spirits supplied by the distillery of Talvis.[14][15]

In the production process natural ingredients such as a lemon zest, pine nuts, walnuts, ashberries, cranberries and honey are used. All the products are certified in compliance with the requirements of international standard ISO 22000:2005.[16] Some of vodka brands are covered by the Orthodox Union kosher certificate.

Permalko has been in the top list of the Russian leading liqueur and vodka producers for more than ten years[17][18][19]
