Russian Fish Company (RFC) started operations in October 1997. Although there were many processing enterprises and smaller importers on the market, fish counters were constantly empty, and the founders of the company saw the need for establishing a reliable nationwide supply of quality fish and seafood. RFC first entered the market as importer from Norway of the most popular fish types at the time – frozen herring and mackerel.

Company History

Product line expansion
Following the financial crisis of 1998, RFC focused on import substitution by expanding its product range through its cooperation with suppliers from the Far East of Russia. Far Eastern fish products currently make up a significant portion of the company’s sales.

New development strategy
RFC started opening regional representative offices and branches supported by local sales teams which allowed the company to significantly increase its customer base in Russian regions. By 2007 over 35 branches and distribution warehouses were operating in the largest cities throughout Russia.

Strategy revised
After 2008 financial crisis, RFC development plans were revisited. Only 20 key branches were kept in the 20 most important regions along with regional sales representatives in all other cities, allowing the co to maintain established relationships with its customers.
