History
1992: Microalgae paste
Natural vitamin and mineral complexes with a cheerful dolphin on the packaging appeared on the shelves of the country's pharmacies. It was a 100% natural complex of SPIRULINA PLATENSIS microalgae - one of the first plants on Earth and the most popular of all natural additives in the world. The product immediately became the leader in Russian sales, winning the love and gratitude of millions of people.
'Split cosmetics' were created on the wreckage of the production and trading company 'Conversion', a pioneer of the parapharmaceutical market, which developed the spirulina 'Splat' brand in − 1990s. The developer and owner of the brand was a biofack of Moscow State University. Splat-cosmetics retained its ties with scientists, and bought the brand from them: the concept of a new business in addition to traditional distribution included the production of simple cosmetics. Everything was fine, perhaps, except for one thing: the creators of the company, according to the head of the company, Yevgeny Demin, were haunted by 'youthful maximalism'. I really wanted to do something truly great, world-class, so that I would not be ashamed of my twenty-year-old peers who grew up in the era of imported abundance.
Two difficult decisions were made. The first is to abandon distribution, the breadwinner who brought in two-thirds of the revenue, and focus on production. The second is to produce not cosmetics, but toothpaste. If the first decision was explained by at least the emerging trend - distribution as a business began to lose ground in retail and logistics, then for the second there were no visible reasons.
2004: First letter in a tube of pasta
The CEO of the company, Evgeny Demin, wrote a letter to buyers and the company invested it in packaging with pasta.
This sincere, open address contained a story about people working in the company, about love and trust, about the desire to be friends and create products together that we dream of. Several thousand letters came to the director's address in the first month, each of which he personally answered with gratitude and warmth.
Since then, CEO letters have become a tradition loved by millions of our customers.
2008: Expansion into non-CIS countries
Active expansion into non-CIS countries began.
In November 2008, at the Russian Gazelles - The Most Dynamic Companies of Russian Medium-Sized Business congress organized by the Expert media holding, SPLAT received the Grand Prix for winning the Challenge to the Giants nomination as the fastest growing Russian medium-sized business company.
2009: Splat - No. 1 among Russian pasta suppliers in the Russian Federation
The company launched the project "Ethical and Environmentally Friendly Production." As a result, the company successfully passed voluntary certification in the international organization Prima Klima, which confirmed the CO2 neutrality of our production.
During the year, Splat production halved SO2 emissions. To do this, the company's specialists revised the composition of raw materials and packaging materials, abandoned components containing phenols and freon.
In the summer of 2009, SPLAT became the No. 1 Russian company in the oral health market, according to ACNielsen, the largest Western consumer market research company.
