About Rot Front
Rot Front is a Moscow candy factory and trademark within United Confectioners, whose own history page traces the site to a small family workshop a merchant named Lenov opened for producing sweets in 1826. As with Krasny Oktyabr, the company does not state on the pages fetched here the year the business took on its Soviet-era Rot Front name (a German Communist Party slogan meaning "Red Front"), so no founding year is set; the factory's current products include the Korovka caramel and wafer range.

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.
