The dairy company "Ranina" was founded in 2002 under the name "Eco-Food". At the initial stage of its activity, the company's priority was to provide consumers with environmentally friendly and high-quality dairy products. Equipped with modern equipment and its own laboratory, the enterprise produced about 40 types of products, including: milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, butter, cottage cheese, mayonnaise and others.
The Eco-Food company was the first in Georgia to offer sour cream and kefir enriched with biologically active bifidobacteria – products that help regulate metabolism, protect against allergies and restore energy. Milk was delivered to the company's enterprise from milk collection points in the south and east of Georgia, and 70-75 tons of raw milk were processed daily. The products were sold throughout Georgia, including through branded stores in Tbilisi and Mtskheta.
Due to changes in legislation, the use of the word "eco" in the business space was limited, the company "Eco-Food", founded in 2002, was replaced by the company "Respublika" (with the trademarks "Ranina" and "Malko"). As a result of the tireless and competent work of the management, a progressive rebranding was carried out. Since its foundation, the company has been actively updating equipment and technological processes.
Since 2007, the company has implemented European standards, and the company's management has ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certificates, which confirm strict compliance with food safety standards at the company.
After 2008, the company underwent a large-scale rebranding and reached a completely new level both visually and technologically.
The company "Ranina" is a modern Georgian dairy enterprise that combines European standards, innovative technologies and natural raw materials.
The production infrastructure has been completely updated: the latest European lines and equipment have been introduced, which comply with all international standards and strict sanitary and hygienic norms. The plant uses advanced cleanliness and safety systems, which ensure consistently high quality and safety of products.
The production site has been located in Orkhevi since 2002 and is equipped with all the necessary modern equipment.
The company employs about 300 people.
The company's territory includes a plant, a logistics and administrative office, as well as a
milk collection point, a workshop for the production of cheese, fermented milk products (sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, ayran), butter, mayonnaise
and ultra-pasteurized drinking milk, chemical and
microbiological laboratories, and a quality management service.
The Ranina trademark uses environmentally friendly, natural raw materials in production. The company has its own refrigeration facilities, which allows it to fully preserve the beneficial properties of raw and processed products.
In 2021, the company invested in and installed a full-cycle butter production line for the first time in Georgia. Butter is produced exclusively from Georgian raw materials, which contributes to the further development of dairy farming in the country and ensures food security for the country. In the same year, the cheese production site was reconstructed and expanded, warehouses and refrigeration facilities were built, technological processes were introduced, machines and equipment for the production of soft and hard cheeses, both local and European, were updated.
