Original taken from selfishgirl_777 in Russian brands that pretend to be foreign

Since Soviet times, the Soviet buyer has a clear idea that foreign brands can serve as a global quality standard. Therefore, Russian entrepreneurs offer "European quality in affordable prices"- products of Chinese, Polish and Russian production with beautiful foreign names.

Andrey Derevyanchenko, president of Golder Electronics and owner of the Vitek brand, at the start of his career, combined trading in equipment with working as a security guard. Five years ago, he registered the trademark Vitek in Austria. The name comes from the words vita (in Latin - life) and tech (in the sense - technology).

Contrary to popular belief, there is no Vitka in the business of the company of the same name. The place of registration allows Vitek to write "Manufacturer: Austria" on the boxes. Mr. Derevyanchenko's equipment was initially positioned as a quality product at a price 10-15% cheaper than similar, but well-known brands. However, later the company was able to afford to acquire its own design bureau to develop unique models of equipment. Now Mr. Derevyanchenko is proud of the teapot he designed this year, which flashes red lights around the perimeter and glows with blue neon light.

Together with Derevyanchenko, Evgeny Nazarov, the founder of the less well-known brand of household appliances Vigor (derived from English vibrant - courageous, strong), also started, it is registered in Hungary. In Moscow, Vigor's office is located in a room rented from the Vympel plant, where 20 people sit, all models of household appliances stand, and there is a pleasant smell of borscht from the factory canteen.
The commercial director of Vigor, Alexander Nazarov, does not hide the fact that all their household appliances, like those of any other Russian company, are bought in the countries of Southeast Asia, assembled at the same factories and often not only similar in appearance, but the same. “We visit factories, look at what they offer us, choose the models we like and agree on a price for which they will put the name of our brand on the teapot,” he says. “It makes no sense to develop our own design: it’s expensive, and anyway steal."

The Scarlett trademark (owned by Arima Holding Corp., a joint brainchild of the Chinese and Russians), the manufacturer of the most purchased teapots in Russia, was registered in England in 1996 and named after Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy Butler. Because the founders of the brand saw the target audience as predominantly female, economic, but not alien to the classics of literature and romance.

If the buyer makes the choice of the simplest household appliances, focusing only on the price, then everything that is more complicated than an iron is already very difficult to sell under little-known brands.

Rolsen - a brand invented in 1995 by MIPT graduate Sergey Belousov - is used for TVs, home theaters, monitors, mobile phones And washing machines. But Rolsen never traded his name for irons. The company began with the assembly of LG TVs, and now it also produces its own at a factory in Fryazino (parts are purchased in Southeast Asia). Recently, Rolsen has been most successful in selling monitors and TVs, which it produces at 150,000 and 240,000 units per year, respectively. At the same plant in Fryazino near Moscow, all 20-, 21- and 25-inch LG TVs sold in Russia are made.

The Kaiser trademark, which has been operating on the market as a German company since the mid-90s and was invented by the founding father Pavel Loginov, does not deal with trifles either. This brand successfully saturates the market with large-sized kitchen appliances. Her Mr. Loginov makes at the same plant in Poland, which also produces products under the Hansa brand.

The Techno, Trony and Elenberg brands are also never Western. They belong to big retail chains Technosila, Mir and Eldorado, respectively. They are present only in stores of these chains. No Elenberg, say, can be found in Technosila.

But Bork, which promotes itself as German technology, is available in almost all stores, despite the fact that it is a brand of the Electroflot network. But Bork has an advantage - a brutal, very attractive design and an average price segment, while products under the three brands listed above are very cheap.

Tea coffee

The Milagro company (in Spanish - a miracle) has been operating on the market since 1998 and specializes in instant coffee. According to the marketing director of the company Nikita Morev, when they were just starting to work, our buyer had more confidence in Western producers of an invigorating drink, which is why we had to resort to a foreign name. Milagro is made in Europe and Russia, the main office of the company is located in Germany.

Another company, Kaffa Industries, known in Russia for its instant coffee, has been operating here for only three years. Its name is made up, like the name of the coffee type Kaffa Elgresso (Kaffa is the name of the province in East Africa, where, according to legend, the coffee drink first appeared, and elgresso is just a beautiful invented word that does not mean anything). Kaffa produces coffee at two factories in the Moscow region.

The brands Greenfield, Tess, Jardin are owned by the St. Petersburg company "Orimi Trade", and Curtis & Patridge - by the manufacturer "May". “The buyer wants to believe that the brand he chooses is made from the unique water of the only lost glacier in the world in the Pacific Ocean, according to a recipe accidentally discovered by an extinct tribe of New Zealand aborigines. And most importantly, he is ready to pay extra money for this,” says Kirill Dubinsky, director of strategic planning and business development of the creative agency "Aurora".

Greenfield tea is positioned in the premium price segment as produced to order and under the control of Greenfield Tea Ltd., which was established on August 10, 2003 in the UK by Orimi Trade, a St. Petersburg tea manufacturer. Within a couple of weeks, his products appeared on the Russian market. The packaging shows sites with British domains and London addresses. However, information about the history of the company is not indicated on them.

Cosmetics

The famous brand Faberlic began in 1997 and was called "Russian Line". Prior to this, its founders, graduates of Moscow State University, Alexei Nechaev and Alexander Davankov, traded on the market valuable papers. Then they tried to produce bioadditives and household chemicals, but in the end they decided to go into cosmetics. At first, the company even wanted to play on the fact that it was Russian. But studies have shown paradoxical things. On the one hand, our women value Russian cosmetics for their naturalness. On the other hand, they want to see stylish packaging with a cosmopolitan name on their dressing table.
A new word for the "Russian Line" was invented for a whole year. As a result, they decided to synthesize the words faber (master) and “face” (lic). Both for the foreign and for the Russian ear, the word is new, and according to the manufacturer's idea, it should evoke in the buyer associations with the world-famous Faberge.

This year, Faberlic specifically conducted a survey among its customers, with the help of which it found out that 30% take it for a Russian manufacturer, 29% for a foreign one, and 24% believe that this is a joint production. In fact, they make cosmetics at two factories - in Balashikha and the Moscow region, using, however, raw materials and developments of foreign companies.

Green Mama was founded in 1996 and grew out of a small family business. Produces creams, essential oils, gels, lotions, etc.

Clothing and footwear

Bosco Sport ("Bosco Sport") is a trademark of sportswear of the company "Bosco Sports Goods" LLC. The Bosco Sport brand was founded in 2001 and soon became a member of the World Association of Sportswear Manufacturers. Each Bosco Sport collection is developed by the company's designers and then sewn in Italian, Turkish and Chinese factories. In 2009, Bosco Sport becomes the official outfitter of the Ukrainian Olympic team and releases the Olympic collection using the national colors of Ukraine - yellow and blue.

Depo Jeans - Russian brand youth clothing. The first store opened in 1998 in Novosibirsk. Sewn off incl. in China, there is a network of stores throughout Russia. The brand is also represented in Ukraine.

Chain of stores Sela clothes, being a Russian brand, fundamentally does not translate its Feel The Same slogan into Russian, which is already 10 years old, almost as long as the network itself.

No shoemaker Carlo Pazolini exists and never has existed. The brand is apparently designed for people who live with the firm conviction that the best shoes in the world are Italian. Carlo Pazolini Group is the name of a Russian company that has its own shoe factories in Russia and China and a network of branded stores.

TJ Collection, which, according to press releases, "was created in the UK in 1992", produces shoes under three brand names: TJ Collection, Chester and Carnaby. They are all produced, again, judging by the press releases, at “family shoe factories in Italy and Spain using manual labor". Everything was thought out to the smallest detail.

Each brand has its own target audience. TJ Collection is bought by fashion-conscious middle class; Chester - lovers of solid classic shoes; Carnaby - youth. Only one thing surprised the buyers - when they, having gone on business or on vacation to England, tried to find a store of their favorite brand, nothing came of it.

Rostov businessman Vladimir Melnikov sews jeans, denim, children's and adult knitwear in Rostov and nowhere else. He is very proud of the success of his enterprise and generally advocates for a domestic manufacturer. But nevertheless, his two brands are called Gloria Jeans and Gee Jay. Although it is worth emphasizing here that the origin of the company has never been hidden, but on the contrary, it has been emphasized in every possible way.

St. Petersburg firm "August Plus" produces and sells women's clothing under the trade mark Oggi - very restrained and simple, but, on the other hand, fashionable and elegant. Therefore, teachers, financiers and other strict women who cannot really experiment with style love to buy it. The word oggi itself is Italian (“Today”), so that the majority of customers consider the brand to be Italian.

Ralf Ringer shoes are traditionally considered either German or Austrian. But, in fact, it is produced in factories in Moscow, Vladimir and Zaraysk. At the same time, company executives are willing to give interviews to various business publications, talking passionately about our origins and how they develop production and modernize factories.

The Tervolina shoe network also does not hide the place of production: they sew shoes in Togliatti, at the Leader factory. And they didn’t come up with the name Tervolina on purpose, it remained from the time when the company did not sew its shoes, but imported them from the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Camelot, a brand of ultra-modern youth footwear, is also ours. The history of Camelot began in 1996 with the opening of small shop, where the collections "Grinders", "Dr.Martens", "Shellys" and others were presented. But not everyone could afford these shoes because of the high price. Since 1999, almost the same shoes have appeared, but not made in Britain and the USA, but in Poland and China under the control of a Russian company. And therefore, accessible to young people.

The Sportmaster chain of stores has a whole line of the most diverse brands of clothing and footwear in sport- and casual-style. For the most part, products under these brands are sold in the stores themselves, but for O'STIN they always open separate stores.

Other brands of Sportmaster: Demix, Outventure, Joss, Exxtasy, Termit, as well as sports equipment Torneo.

Sport equipment

Food and household goods

The company has been on the market since 1996. The head office is located in the Chelyabinsk region. Premium-class Grand di Pasta pasta is produced on the modern Italian equipment of the Makfa company, which is apparently why they pretend to be Italian. The company's website states that TM Grand di Oliva olive oil is "pressed in Greece and produced from selected olives from Laconia, Olympia, Kalamata and Crete."

The company produces the oat fermented product "Velle". All TM products are based on oats.

2. Stolichnaya

In the 1990s, the rights to the brand were registered by businessman Yuri Shefler, whose company Spirits International (SPI), registered in Luxembourg, subsequently produced this famous vodka. It was only in 2015 that a court in Rotterdam ruled that all rights to Stolichnaya should be returned to the Russian authorities as soon as possible.

Gogol's "foreigner Vasily Fedorov" is still flourishing in Russia, because our craving for everything foreign is indestructible

Russian shopping malls are filled with branded stores with tempting inscriptions in Latin letters, hinting that what they sell has nothing to do with Russia. This is an illusion. Most of these products are indeed produced in China, Turkey, Vietnam, etc., but the origin of the brands is purely Russian, almost all of them are closed to the West. The maximum for them is countries former USSR.

It is the Japanese AKAI that is not represented on the Russian market, since it declared bankruptcy in 2000. Positioning itself today as a Japanese brand AKAI, sold in Russian stores, was registered not in Japan, but in Russia in 2002 by Akai Universal and has no legal relationship to the Japanese company of the same name. Later, the Russian brand AKAI was bought up many more times by various owners. Many famous and unknown Russian and foreign companies, among which is M-Video. By the way, it was the Japanese real AKAI who first invented, or more precisely, patented, the remote control remote control and on-screen TV menus. But this invention has nothing to do with our Russian brand AKAI.

BORK, perhaps, was the first to turn our minds around, and we learned that, it turns out, “German” quality can also be produced in China by order of Russian entrepreneurs. Therefore, we will say a little about this brand, just that it is Russian, which does not diminish our respect for it. But read on, there is still so much different interesting and unexpected.

FRAU SCHMIDT

Positioning itself today as the Japanese brand AKAI, which offers itself in Russian stores, was registered in Russia in 2002 by Akai Universal and has no legal relationship to the Japanese company of the same name. Later, the Russian brand AKAI was bought up and fought over by many well-known and unknown Russian and foreign companies, including M-Video.
