History
[edit]The company was founded in Novosibirsk in 1997 and was originally called Novosibirskprodmash.
In 2001 it developed a water bottling line of equipment. In 2002 it developed beer dispensing equipment for small and medium breweries and in 2003 started supplying these to China.

Brands
[edit]Pegas
[edit]Pegas is an apparatus for fast foam-free dispensing of foamy beverages (beer and others). It is installed in retail outlets. Its operation principle is based on the back pressure: the bottle is filled with a gas, then the beer squeezes it out of the container. Beer is fed into the bottle under pressure, and the back pressure in the bottle pushes and extinguishes the foam. This method had already been followed in industrial production, however, the company patented seven devices that operate on the basis of back pressure.[3]
MilkBox
[edit]MilkBoxes are milk vending machines disseminated in Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast and Yekaterinburg (as of 2016).[4]
Exports
[edit]The company exports its products to Europe, CIS, China, North and South America.[5]
