True Happiness Group inaugurates its new dairy plant in Russia

RUSSIA – True Happiness Group (TH), a Vietnamese enterprise focused on dairy farming, has inaugurated its state-of-the-art fresh milk processing plant in Borovsk district in Kaluga oblast of Russia.

According to the company, the new facility marks a significant milestone in its high-tech dairy farming and milk production project in Russia.

The factory completes a crucial link in TH’s closed-loop production chain, from green pastures to pure milk, and will produce a range of high-quality dairy products under the TH True MILK brand.

The plant has a total capacity of 1,000 tonnes, with the first phase producing 500 tonnes daily. All milk used at the plant is sourced from TH’s high-tech farms in the Moscow and Kaluga oblasts.

TH milk boasts a high nutritional profile, with a fat content of 4.0% and protein at 3.2%, among the highest quality levels in Russia.

In addition to fresh milk, the plant will also manufacture a range of Russian-style dairy products, including smetana (sour cream), drinking yoghurt, kefir, butter, cheese, ice cream, and a variety of health-focused beverages.

Hero of Labour Thai Huong, founder and Chairwoman of the Strategy Council of the TH Group, expressed her belief that the project set a new benchmark for Vietnamese international investment.

She praised the consistent investment-friendly policies of the Russian Government, especially in recent years, which have enabled TH to support domestic production and reduce reliance on imported dairy products.
