About Krasny Oktyabr
Krasny Oktyabr is both a Moscow confectionery factory owned by United Confectioners and the trademark it sells chocolate under, tracing its site's history to a business the confectioner Ferdinand Theodor von Einem opened in 1849 supplying pastries to the Imperial family. The company's own history page does not state the year the enterprise was renamed into its Soviet-era Krasny Oktyabr ("Red October") identity, so no founding year for the present-day brand is given here; the factory today is one of the three flagship Moscow houses, alongside Rot Front and Babayevsky, that anchor the United Confectioners portfolio.

About the owner: United Confectioners
United Confectioners is a holding company headquartered in Moscow, Russia, founded in 2002. Brandtree records 5 brands under its control.
United Confectioners was formed in 2002 to unite what had been separately run Russian chocolate and candy factories into a single holding, and it describes itself as the largest confectionery enterprise in Eastern Europe and a top-20 confectionery seller worldwide. The holding is part of Guta Group rather than an independently listed company, and by its own account brings together sixteen factories, among them the historic Moscow houses Krasny Oktyabr, Rot Front and Babayevsky, together with regional plants in Tula, Penza, Smolensk, the Urals, Nizhny Novgorod, Zeya, Voronezh, Mari El and Novosibirsk. Across those factories it reports making more than 300,000 tonnes of confectionery a year across roughly 3,500 product varieties, sold through more than 200,000 retail points and exported to over 50 countries.
