"Today, about 500 people are employees of "Arabia", and 98% of them are residents of Serpukhov, Protvino and neighboring cities. After the new building is put into operation, the company's staff will grow — during 2027-2028, we plan to launch at full capacity and gradually increase our staff from 50 to 150 employees. We expect to launch the new building in September–October of this year," commented the company's CEOOleg Vostrikov.

Key project parameters:

  • The area of the new building is 10,000 square meters (workshops and warehouses);
  • Investments — 700 million rubles;
  • Output growth — by 40%, up to 550 tons of products per year;
  • The current staff consists of about 500 people, 98% of whom are locals;
  • The planned staff growth is from 50 to 150 employees by 2027-2028.

 

The company also notes its participation in the federal project "Labor Productivity". Thanks to lean manufacturing tools, the company managed to significantly increase operational efficiency even before launching new facilities.

The launch of the Protvin plant is another step in the trend of localizing and increasing domestic capacities in the perfumery and cosmetics market, which is actively supported at the regional level.
