State Quality Mark 2025: From harvesters to ice cream, from innovation to classics

21.01.2026

The State Quality Mark was established by Decree No. 21 of the Belarusian president on 18 January 2024. It is awarded to food and industrial consumer goods, as well as industrial and technical products, manufactured by Belarusian legal entities that meet criteria such as safety, environmental sustainability, innovativeness, technological advancement, and aesthetic appeal. The first recipients of the inaugural State Quality Mark award were 17 enterprises. In 2025 it was awarded to 12 products, ranging from machinery to beloved treats. BelTA provides details on the recipients of this highest honor.

GS12A1 self-propelled grain harvester

The GS12A1 grain harvester, manufactured by Gomselmash combines operator comfort, time-tested technologies, and advanced technical solutions.

«Productivity, versatility, gentle threshing, the ability to harvest weedy, high-straw, and moist grains, and simplicity are the undeniable advantages of the GS12A1 harvester, making it the most sought-after in its class. The new UNI CAB is equipped with everything necessary for comfortable operation, offering the excellent visibility from the operator’s station. An ergonomic joystick, video monitoring of working zones, an audio system, a refrigerator with a heating function, a beverage cooling box, climate control, a steering column, an air-suspension seat with multiple adjustments, and much more.. All of this allows for an individually tailored and comfortable workspace for the combine operator,» the enterprise explained.

The harvester is equipped with a powerful LED VISION lighting system for the working area, featuring ten headlights, which facilitates efficient harvesting even during nighttime hours.

«To minimize downtime, the GS12A1 incorporates an automatic centralized lubrication system (ALS) that enhances the reliability of 26 key components and reduces maintenance time. The productivity of the GS12A1 is achieved by accelerating the grain flow with an accelerator drum before it reaches the threshing drum. Increased drum volumes, combined with a larger area of the double concave, have made the threshing path longer and the threshing process itself gentler,» the manufacturer said.

Furthermore, the accelerator drum evenly distributes the flow, reducing the load on the threshing drum and the main concave. This ensures stable and efficient threshing, giving the harvester an advantage when harvesting moist and the most challenging grain crops.

«The 9,500-liter grain tank, equipped with a vibrating floor, is optimally suited for medium-sized farms. Emptying a full tank takes less than two minutes thanks to an unloading speed of 90 liters per second,» the enterprise noted.

Semi-linen softened blanket

The semi-linen softened blanket from the Orsha Linen Mill meets all quality requirements for such products. It complies with safety standards, possesses high physical-mechanical and physical-chemical consumer properties, excellent appearance, and durability.

«A distinctive feature of the blanket is that it is made using innovative cottonized yarn from a fiber whose properties are close to cotton, while retaining all the positive characteristics of flax. Compared to conventional yarn made from long flax fiber, cottonized yarn has no thickenings, slubs, or knots and is much softer. The use of differentially shrinking yarns in fabric formation has made it possible to achieve entirely new, innovative textures on the fabrics after washing, which had not previously been used on pure linen or linen-blend fabrics,» said Sergei Sidin, Deputy Director General of the Orsha Linen Mill.

He also noted that the linen softened blanket is a unique combination of comfort and aesthetics, which cannot be overlooked.

«It is one of the most environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic materials, containing no chemical additives or synthetic fibers, making it an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Its ability to regulate thermal exchange gives the linen blanket versatility for any season; it also has high moisture-wicking properties,» Sergei Sidin noted.

Linen blankets are not only functional but also elegant. Thanks to their natural texture and inherent sheen, they blend seamlessly into any interior.

Vanilla-flavored plombir ice cream in a waffle cup ‘1962’

Plombir ice cream with a mass fraction of fat in the milk portion of 12% is produced by the Kobrin Butter and Cheese Plant. This ice cream, alongside others, is part of the Soviet classics line.

«This ice cream received its name for a reason: it is made according to a recipe from 1962. This recipe represents a classic Soviet plombir, the benchmark for creamy ice cream, distinguished by its highest quality, nutritional value, and exceptionally smooth texture. This ice cream’s recipe completely excludes vegetable fats, stabilizers like guar gum, emulsifiers (except for lecithin from egg yolk), preservatives, and flavor enhancers,» explained Olga Kuleshova, Head of Marketing at the Kobrin Butter and Cheese Plant.

Egg yolk in classic plombir is what gives it a yellowish color and a smooth, rich, almost creamy texture.

«The 1962 Vanilla Plombir Ice Cream in a Wafer Cup is a premium product made with natural ingredients. Consumers choose it for its honest milk-and-cream flavor, which has remained a benchmark for many generations. It’s the true taste of childhood,» said Olga Kuleshova.

Over 14 tonnes of the 1962 ice cream were sold in 2025. Its taste is also familiar to consumers in external markets, including Chinese lovers of this treat.

MMZ-3LD diesel engine

The MMZ-3LD engine is one of the key developments of Minsk Motor Plant (MMZ trademark), which matches and, in several key areas, even outperforms comparable imported models. Thanks to this, it is successfully used to replace foreign units, including those that have broken down and require replacement.

«The awarding of the State Quality Mark to the products of Minsk Motor Plant is not only a high honor and recognition but also a powerful incentive to move forward, to develop our engine line, and to continue upholding the quality standard we can be proud of,» emphasized MMZ Director Aleksandr Botvinnik.

According to him, the plant has developed an engine designed to operate stably, efficiently, and reliably under the most varied conditions.

«MMZ is the sole producer of three-cylinder diesel engines with liquid cooling systems, both in Belarus and in the neighboring countries. The high rating earned by the 3LD engine is due to its real operational advantages. Its design is built for long-term operation under high loads and in harsh climates. Fuel efficiency is achieved through optimized fuel consumption, making the engine a cost-effective solution for agricultural, municipal, and industrial machinery. Ease of maintenance is ensured by a well-thought-out design and convenient access to major components, which reduces service costs. Its versatility allows the 3LD to be used in a wide range of machines and mechanisms, making it in demand across various industries,» Mikhail Klesso, the plant’s chief designer, explained.

Yegorka sweetened boiled condensed whole milk

Yegorka sweetened boiled condensed whole milk (8.5% fat) from Rogachev Dairy Canning Plant is produced from classic condensed milk through a longer thermal process, which gives it a thick consistency and a caramel color. The thermization process in special equipment, autoclaves, takes approximately one and a half hours.

«Our dairy product contains no preservatives, flavorings, or vegetable fats, making it the benchmark for authentic boiled condensed milk. It is fully ready to eat and is also widely used in the food industry for producing a variety of confectionery items,» the company explained.

Production of this widely loved treat at Rogachev Dairy Canning Plant began in the autumn of 2004. Over time, the product has won consumers’ affection and gained strong market demand. Export shipments account for over 70% of its total sales volume. The boiled condensed milk is exported to many countries, including Russia, the USA, the UAE, Serbia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Production volumes of boiled condensed milk have increased tenfold since its initial launch.

«To meet consumer demand for this type of canned dairy product and increase the production volume of boiled condensed milk, the plant is modernizing its technological capacity by acquiring additional autoclaves for the thermization of condensed milk,» the company reported.

Meat Nut turkey roll

The smoked-and-boiled, top-grade product made from turkey meat by Agrokombinat Dzerzhinsky was added to the company’s product line three years ago. It was one of the first turkey meat processing products introduced at the new production facility.

As is known, turkey meat is a product low in fat yet high in calories. It is rich in protein, a group of vitamins, and minerals, and even surpasses fish in some metrics, making it recommended for all population groups. Among other things, due to its low allergenicity, it is suitable for a child’s first complementary foods.

«The Meat Nut turkey roll is the perfect choice for consumers who prioritize natural quality. The product consists of juicy turkey thigh meat. Our main inspiration during its creation was homemade meat delicacies. The production of the ‘nut’ uses a minimal amount of additives. Everything is done to highlight the unique taste of natural meat and preserve all its beneficial properties,» Agrokombinat Dzerzhinsky explained.

Lyubimaya Alenka milk chocolate

The Alenka chocolate appeared in the USSR in 1967 and quickly gained popularity. This was due in no small part to its simple yet vibrant packaging featuring the image of a sweet girl in a headscarf.

«There is a version that the product was named after Alyona, the daughter of Valentina Tereshkova, the first female cosmonaut, who became a symbol of heroism and a breakthrough into space. In those years, after Tereshkova’s return to Earth, her young daughter Alyona became a symbol of the new Soviet era, embodying future generations and bright hopes. The name Alyona became incredibly popular and recognizable, and chocolate with that name immediately won the hearts of consumers. The image on the packaging was created by an artist, based on a photo of a real child — the daughter of photojournalist Aleksandr Gerinas,» Kommunarka representatives explained.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Kommunarka confectionery factory slightly altered the appearance of the girl on its packaging.

«Our Alyonka acquired the features of a Belarusian beauty. In the 2000s, the word ‘Lyubimaya’ [Beloved] was added to the brand name in honor of the director’s beloved granddaughter, Alyona. This gave the brand uniqueness and made it a true people’s trademark, cherished by all generations. Over the past five years, the factory has annually produced an average of about 715 tonnes of the Lyubimaya Alyonka chocolate bars in 100-gram format, 429 tonnes in 200-gram format, and 134 tonnes in 20-gram format,» the producers noted.

For Kommunarka, having such a brand as Lyubimaya Alyonka is of great value. «It embodies respect for tradition, and we want to pass this famous symbol of history on to future generations,» the enterprise emphasized.

Cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation, 6-330 kV

«Our enterprise is a full-cycle production facility: from sourcing the best raw materials worldwide to manufacturing the most complex cable systems. Each year, more than 60,000 tonnes of top-quality raw materials pass through our workshops, equipped with the finest machinery from global leaders. Here Belarusian reliability meets advanced international technologies. The overall product range exceeds 200,000 specifications,» explained representatives of EnergoKomplekt Production Association.

The pride of the enterprise is its cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation rated from 6 to 330 kV.

«This is not just a product, but an engineering solution. The patented solid conductor reduces losses and is ideal for damp soils. The three-core design saves costs during construction. And our unique easily removable layer is a revolution in installation, protecting the insulation and the customer’s time,» the enterprise noted.

The company has established its own accredited laboratory where all types of testing are conducted. Multi-stage quality control is ensured at every stage from raw materials to packaging, guaranteeing that every meter of cable meets the highest standards.

«Behind all the technologies, certificates, and awards stand people. Our team is our greatest value and source of strength. We do not simply produce cable. We create reliable energy connections for global projects and sustainable development,» the enterprise emphasized.

The share of exports in 2025 accounted for 35% of total production volume.

«Cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation are a high-tech and innovative solution that can replace overhead power lines in major cities. This is an import-substituting product, and our enterprise is fully capable of meeting the domestic market’s demand in this segment of cable production,» the enterprise stated.

BelGee X50 car

According to the management of BelGee, receiving the State Quality Mark for the BelGee X50 model demonstrates the result of the consistent work of the entire enterprise team.

«Since the launch of the plant, we have relied on the standards of our partner Geely, which has owned Volvo for more than 10 years and applies the quality and safety principles of that brand. We analyzed the product and concluded that the X50 meets the criteria for receiving the Quality Mark. The decision was based on the model’s actual performance indicators, which were also confirmed by independent expertise. I would note that in 2023 we reaffirmed our status as a laureate of the government award for achievements in product quality and competitiveness. This showed that the enterprise is moving in the right direction,» said BelGee Director Gennady Svidersky.

In Belarus, more than 11,000 units of the X50 model were sold in 2025, a 33% increase compared to 2024. The model ranked first among crossovers on the Belarusian market, and consumer demand is seen as an important indicator of product quality.

«The X50 car is in demand among various categories of buyers: private customers, companies for corporate fleets, taxi services, and car-sharing providers. Such versatility requires high reliability and a well-thought-out design. We do not make cheap cars: we make quality cars affordable. That is a fundamental difference. And the X50 has proven that it is possible to offer a modern, safe, technologically advanced product at a reasonable price,» Gennady Svidersky emphasized.

The enterprise is consistently increasing the level of localization, which contributes to the stability of product quality. A control system has been established from the incoming inspection of components to the final check of the finished vehicle.

«We continue to work on localizing key processes. Plans include building and launching our own stamping production to ensure greater control over the technological chain. New models are entering production, including the hybrid X80, which requires mastering new technologies. In terms of auto components, we cooperate with Belarusian and Russian manufacturers, establishing a quality control system at all stages of supply. BelGee is a young brand, and the Quality Mark helps build trust in it, especially among customers who are not yet familiar with our products. The market recognizes Belarusian quality, particularly when it is marked by the State Quality Mark,» the director stressed.

MSKh-9 machine for applying powdered soil conditioners

The Bobruiskagromash holding company, the manufacturer of the MSKh-9 machine for applying powdered soil conditioners, places the main focus on machine’s versatility: it can be used to apply mineral fertilizers, dolomite flour, lime, and belite — the MSKh‑9 can handle it all.

«The machine has a load capacity of 10 cubic meters. It is equipped with two types of working units: auger booms and a centrifugal spreading unit, or ‘spinning disks.’ The auger booms increase application accuracy. In case of high moisture content of the ameliorant, which prevents the use of the booms, it is possible to apply powdered chemical ameliorants using the ‘disks.’ The machine is equipped with windbreak aprons. This means less dust during operation, which is a good thing for the environment. The spreading width is 8-10 meters, and the working speed is 6-10 km/h. The MSKh-9 is attached to tractors of the 3rd traction class and above. The operation of the spreader is controlled from the tractor cabin,» Andrei Aksenov, Deputy Director General for Quality at Bobruiskagromash, said.

By using the MSKh-9, agricultural producers save time on fertilizer application, reduce the number of passes across the field, and consequently save on fuel and lubricants, while also reducing the fleet of machinery for fertilizer application thanks to the spreader’s larger capacity and versatility.

AMKODOR W500C universal loader

The awarding of the State Quality Mark to the AMKODOR W500C universal loader confirms that the new machinery from the Amkodor holding company meets the highest requirements for reliability, safety, and efficiency.

«For us, this is not just an award but the result of systematic and consistent work by designers, technologists, and production workers aimed at satisfying our customer. The AMKODOR W500C is the flagship of the new line of universal loaders and represents a significant step forward in terms of innovation development, implementation of design solutions, technological sophistication, and creating comfortable and safe working conditions for the operator,» Vitaly Pyshinsky, head of the prospective development center at the managing company OOO AMKODOR-MASH, noted.

The machine received a new-generation transmission, increased lifting capacity up to 5 tonnes, and a capacious bucket with a volume of 3 cubic meters. «The loader’s operational weight has increased, and its dynamic characteristics have improved, which directly affects its productivity and efficiency. The updated appearance of the machine deserves special attention. It combines modern, stylish design with functionality: the layout has been redesigned; the new spacious cabin, with glass doors and windows flush-mounted, provides improved visibility, comfort, and safety for the operator. The machine is equipped with a new-generation hydro-mechanical transmission with an electronic control system and automatic shifting under load. This approach allows us to talk about the machinery not only as a reliable working tool but also as a machine that meets modern requirements for ergonomics and visual appearance. The increased fuel tank capacity of up to 250 liters ensures longer operation without refueling, which is especially important for intensive use in municipal, construction, and industrial sectors,» Vitaly Pyshinsky said.

It is also important that the achieved level of localization in the production of the loader is almost 100%.

Today, the AMKODOR W500C has been successfully launched into serial production. The high interest from customers in the EAEU market testifies to the demand for this model.

It has received wide recognition from well-known retail chains in Belarus and Russia and is manufactured under their own brands in individual collections,» the Olsa enterprise noted.

Stable demand for the product is confirmed by sales dynamics. Over the past five years, the production and sales volume of Alexandria garden swing bench has quadrupled, the share of exports exceeds 80%, and the sales geography covers the Belarusian market and the markets of all CIS countries.

Commenting on the results of the State Quality Mark awards in 2025, Yelena Morgunova, Chairperson of the State Committee for Standardization and Deputy Chairperson of the National Attestation Commission, noted that products bearing the State Quality Mark must be of the highest level and associated with Belarus.

«Having made quality the country’s image, we must make every effort not only to maintain the achieved level but also to constantly improve it. The State Quality Mark sets a high but achievable bar. We must strive for it. I believe this state approach demonstrates a course for actively involving the economic sector in quality work and achieving the best results. Only in this way can we ensure the fulfillment of all the tasks of the upcoming five-year plan, aimed at a new quality of life for every person,» Yelena Morgunova emphasized.
