Volgograd-based Sad Radosti successfully exports unique light figures and street furniture to the UAE and other countries

Volgograd-based Sad Radosti continues to conquer foreign markets thanks to Made in Russia certificates from Russian Export Center (REC, VEB Group) awarded in the uniqueness category. Specializing in decorative elements for parks and gardens, the company produces light figures made of metal and outdoor furniture made of composite, which have already gained popularity both in Russia and abroad.

Founded 15 years ago by Olga Ermachenko's family, the company has evolved from a small family production facility to a large exporter. The product range includes light wire decorations, polymer marble sculptures and innovative composite products. The company has been actively developing this area for the last ten years: the composite material is lighter than metal, resistant to corrosion and UV radiation, which makes it ideal for outdoor furniture, decor, shading systems and architectural panels. This year, the production of composite was launched on a mass scale, the first export deliveries to the UAE took place.

Made in Russia certificates were issued for light figures made of metal, street furniture, and decor made of composite. Light figures are used for example to decorate Kremlin Christmas tree, parks in Texas and Frankfurt, and furniture made of composite is already exported to the UAE, where it is in demand for its durability and lightness.

Since 2016, Sad Radosti began exporting, first to neighboring countries, and since 2020, it has expanded to the USA, Germany, Italy, Türkiye, Israel and the UAE. Wicker composite goods and furniture are produced in Russia only by Sad Radosti, and it surpasses foreign analogues in weight, durability and environmental friendliness.

However, the path to success was not easy. Ten years ago, at the round tables of the Volgograd Region Export Support Center, Olga Ermachenko learned about REC and its services. Before that, the company faced uncertainty in export, not knowing where to start. Thanks to the My Export platform and REC support, the company mastered foreign economic activity, including document processing and finding partners.

"Our goal is to become the niche champion not only in Russia, but also on the global arena. We want to show that Russian quality is the highest! And it's great that there are support programs that help move forward," Olga Ermachenko, General Director, Sad Radosti.

Thanks to cooperation with REC, the company has concluded contracts worth 970 thousand dollars this year, with plans to expand to Eastern countries.
