It was soon transferred into the Nestle/R&R Ice Cream joint venture Froneri Finland. In 2005, (Valio Ice Cream Bar), designed by Paola Suhonen, was opened in Kamppi Center, Helsinki. In 2007, Valio invested approx. €60 million in a factory near Moscow for the packaging of cheese and butter for the Russian market as well as for logistics operations from Moscow up to the Pacific Ocean. The products were mostly imported from the mother company in Finland. The production capacity of the plant was 8,000 Mt per year with 400 employees and could be expanded up to 20,000 Mt. The turnover of Valio in Russia was €283 million in 2010, making it the biggest Finnish consumer business on the Russian market after Nokia. After Russia imposed sanctions on the EU, butter made by Valio appeared in supermarkets in the USA under the FINLANDIA brand.
