Concord and RBE Group are both in the business of supplying food rations to government agencies.
OOO Combinat Nutrition, located in the Leningrad Region and part of the Concord Group, specialized in the production of food rations for the Ministry of Defense, producing 100,000 units per day. The factory cost 1.7 billion rubles to build. It began operating in 2010, but its operations have now been suspended.
Other units of Concord also supplied food to schools, kindergartens, hospitals and prisons. Andrei Shokin was previously the head of Concord himself, and after Prigozhin's death, Concord's contracts were taken over by his RBE Group, which already supplies ready-to-eat meals to Russian Railways.
Its former owner Yevgeny Prigozhin is best known as the creator and head of PMC Wagner, but he also had other extensive business interests. After the uprising in 2023, he lost a significant portion of his business. Almost immediately, media outlets like the FAN news agency were blocked.
