LOTTE Rakhat: Building a Strong Global Presence

The brand combines more than 80 years of tradition with modern production to create high-quality confections for markets worldwide.

The brand Rakhat is a symbol of tradition and quality. With a proud history dating back to 1942, today it’s part of the global company LOTTE WELLFOOD, under the umbrella of the international LOTTE Corporation. Over the decades, the Almaty Confectionery Factory “Rakhat” has evolved into a modern industrial and logistics cluster, now operating two production sites with a total annual capacity exceeding 100,000 tons of confectionery products. Its portfolio includes more than 400 items across 14 categories — from chocolate, candies and wafers to biscuits, bars and much more.

“We believe quality and trust know no borders,” says Akhmed Akhrarov, chairman of LOTTE Rakhat. “Rigorous supplier selection and uncompromising standards in raw material quality ensure that Rakhat products are instantly recognizable, with a unique and memorable chocolate taste. This is why today our products resonate with consumers worldwide — from Kazakhstan and Central Asia to Russia, Germany, China, Mongolia, Afghanistan and the United States.”

With exports accounting for more than 20 percent of total sales, the company understands that success abroad requires not only economic consideration but also deep cultural insight. This is why a significant range of its products is Halal-certified, opening vast opportunities in the Middle East and other Muslim markets. Alongside this, it is investing in fast-growing segments, such as sugar-free products, beverages and snacks, to maintain a diversified product portfolio and manage seasonality.

For its international partners, LOTTE Rakhat offers flexible collaboration formats: from contract manufacturing under private labels to recipe adaptations tailored to local tastes. It can integrate specific ingredients and ensure compliance with local certification standards — everything needed to bring its products closer to local consumers.

The company actively leverages government support mechanisms and employs insurance, guarantees and financial instruments, enabling it to enter new markets with confidence and create a secure environment for its partners.

“We are open to new markets and partners, and for this, we are ready to offer not only high-quality and safe products but also excellent service and support at every stage of our cooperation,” says Akhrarov.
