OJSC Lipetsk confectionary factory Roshen, which is part of Ukraine's Roshen Corporation, resumed its operation on Thursday, April 3.

Director General of Roshen LLC Konstantin Vakhonin said that the second factory of Roshen in Lipetsk region – in the settlement of Sentsovo – will resume operations on Friday, April 4.

He said that most problems affecting the resumption of operations and the payment of wages to employees had been solved.

"Our employees will receive wages in line with the schedule – on April 15," Vakhonin said.

As reported, in March Tverskoi Court of Moscow as a part of a civil claim initiated by Uniconf holding against Russian enterprises of Roshen Corporation, arrested the accounts of the company in Russia. Uniconf demanded the payment of 2.4 billion of rubles for the illegal use of trademarks. Production at Roshen's confectionary factory in Russia was suspended.

Roshen Corporation includes Mariupol-based Roshen confectionery factory, confectionery factories in Kyiv, Kremenchuk and Vinnytsia, the dairy producer Bershadmoloko. It also runs confectionary facilities in Klaipeda (Lithuania), Lipetsk (Russia), and Bonbonetti Choco (Hungary).

Work at public joint-stock company Mariupol confectionary factory (Donetsk region) was stopped in February 2014 due to politically motivated complications with the foreign trade relations of Ukraine.

In July 2013, the Russian consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor banned supplies of chocolate and sweets made at four Ukrainian factories of Roshen to Russia due to complaints of quality of the products.
