1974

December

The Kostanay confectionery factory (now JSC Bayan Sulu) was commissioned in December 1974 with a design capacity of 24,560 tons of confectionery products per year. The first director of the factory was Nigmet Bukpanovich Tanashev, born in 1939. A mechanical engineer by profession, he arrived with a group of specialists from the Karaganda confectionery factory to organize work at the opening enterprise. Under his management, all major production workshops were launched. To do this, it was necessary to prepare a large number of qualified personnel; they were trained in institutes, technical schools, city secondary vocational technical schools, and were also sent for a period of three to six months for training in professions to confectionery factories of Almaty, Karaganda and Aktobe.

The period from 1975 to 1980 was the stage of rapid development of design capacities and the launch of key production areas of the Kostanay confectionery factory. In March 1975, a biscuit shop was commissioned, where the SL-1P line for the production of sugar biscuits with a capacity of 6,000 tons per year and the A2-SZL No.2 line for protracted varieties with a capacity of 2,700 tons per year were installed. Already in July of the same year, advanced equipment for processing cocoa products was launched, which launched the work of the candy and chocolate shops. The company began mass production of glazed and unglazed sweets, chocolate and a variety of chocolate assortments.
In subsequent years, the factory actively mastered the production of the highest varieties of caramel, marmalade, waffles, dragees and iris, continuously working to expand the range.

September 1993 was marked by the transformation of the factory into JSC BAYAN SULU, after which a large-scale digital and technical modernization began under the leadership of Evgeny Boger (since 1995). During this period, the company completely switched to a local control system, launched its own boiler room, installed a new power line and updated the equipment fleet with advanced lines from the UK, Italy and Turkey for the production of packaging, caramel and chocolate. Technical re-equipment allowed expanding the range to 200 items, providing stable work for 900 people and building an effective wholesale network throughout Kazakhstan. The factory became a regular participant in international exhibitions, and in March 2004 the management of the company was transferred to the new head Vitaly Traiber.

In 2006, the factory successfully implemented a Quality Management System in accordance with the international standard ISO 9001:2000. During this period, the company made a powerful breakthrough in technical re-equipment, launching advanced European lines: German Ubitek equipment for assorted sweets, a caramel production line STRADA 1200, a continuous marshmallow production line based on Hansa equipment, the Austrian Franz Haas line for the production of waffles, as well as the French Dumoulin complex, which increased the production capacity of dragees by 2.7%. The opening of chocolate shop No.2 for the production of bar chocolate, the launch of a modern warehouse of finished products with an area of 3000 square meters and the renewal of the logo in 2010 in order to increase the attractiveness of the brand among buyers were also significant events.

Between 2016 and 2021, new lines were commissioned in the biscuit, caramel and chocolate shops, including equipment from Franz Haas, Imaforni, Bühler, Arkan and Bosch. The technical update included the launch of a new biscuit shop with a capacity of 9.5 thousand tons per year, lines for the production of sweets, nougat, glazed cookies and chewing caramel.

In 2024, the company sponsored the creation of the play “Bayan Sulu and Kozy Korpesh,” inspired by a famous love story. Today, the brand is getting closer to its customers: 42 Bayan Sulu stores operate across Kazakhstan, 8 of which are located in major shopping centers. In 2026, the Confectionery Capital production complex opened, marking a new stage in the company's development and creating broad opportunities for further growth and increased production volumes.
