Founded in 2018, Stepan-Group company has taken its niche in the wholesale and retail market for professional kitchen equipment over the past seven years.

The company’s success is a result of the synergy between the competencies of its two founders : Sergey Stepanov and Roman Polonsky.

Sergey, with his extensive experience in managing service centres specialising in the repair and maintenance of professional kitchen equipment deeply understands the specifics of this equipment, its weak points and operational requirements. His knowledge of technical aspects, high standards, and potential issues is an invaluable asset to Stepan-Group.

Roman, for his part , has enriched the company with his knowledges in global logistics and financial management. His skills in developing and coordinating complex logistics routes encompassing import-export operations have ensured the constant functioning of the procurement and transportation system for equipment.

A general understanding of management principles, warehouse space optimisation and effective inventory control have allowed Stepan-Group to minimize outlays and maximize profitability.

Over the years, the company’s team has expanded and now consists of more than 20 professionals from various fields. We are proud of our team, which combines youth, energy, and extensive experience. Each team member is an expert in their area, whether it’s logistics, marketing, sales, or technical support.

The company’s main activity include the distribution and import of professional equipment for food service enterprises and the development of a stock discount centre, details of which can be found in other articles

Stepan-Group’s initial strategy was focused on the wholesale procurement of stock remnants of professional kitchen equipments from major distributors and manufacturers.

This strategy has allowed the company to offer significant  savings to customers , with discounts reaching up to 50% off standard market prices. The success of this model is attributed to several key factors. Firstly, access to large suppliers and established logistics chains have ensured a steady  flow of high-quality equipment at favourable prices. Stepan-Group doesn’t simply resell stock; the company carefully selects equipment, conducting pre-shipment inspections and testing, which guarantees customers that the equipment is functional and meets their specified requirements. This commitment sets us apart from other sellers of used equipment, where the risks associated with acquiring faulty machinery are significantly higher.

Moreover, Stepan-Group’s specialists provide consultations on equipment selection, assisting clients in navigating a wide range of options to find optimal solutions for their specific needs. This is particularly crucial for professional kitchens, where the efficiency and reliability of equipment are critical. The company also offers delivery and installation services, which greatly simplify the purchasing process and commissioning of equipment. In its offerings, Stepan-Group covers a wide range of professional kitchen equipment: from refrigerators and stoves to mixers and food processing equipment.

Interestingly, the assortment may include both completely new items from manufacturers warehouses and equipment that has been in short-term use, such as demonstration models.

The company has a modern , well-equipped warehouse in the Moscow region. The convenient location of our warehouse ensures unobstructed access for vehicles, significantly simplifying logistics and speeding up the delivery process.

Our warehouse functions not only as storage but also as a showroom, creating a unique opportunity for clients. Visitors can not only familiarise themselves with a wide range of equipment and conduct personal functionality checks. This allows potential buyers to better understand the specifications and capabilities of the equipment, facilitating informed purchasing decisions.

To promote transparency and build trust in Stepan-Group, we publish photographs and detailed descriptions of each offered lot in our trading platforms, including information about its history and condition. This enables customers to make well-informed purchases while minimising risks.

It is essential to highlight that this direction has positively impacted all of our business partners, including distributors, product manufacturers, and large wholesalers, enhancing their sales performance. Consequently, it has become possible to control inventory more efficiently and unblock temporarily unavailable assets, leading to increased warehouse space availability and reduced labour costs.

Another important direction is the import and distribution of equipment.

External economic shocks and sanctions imposed by the West have disrupted the supply chains of imported equipment, creating serious problems for Russian companies that have become accustomed to its use.

Over the past three years, the company has expanded its business connections by establishing international agreements with partners from Germany, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, South Africa, and several other countries.

This has opened up opportunities for importing previously unavailable foreign brands through suppliers from allied countries. Thanks to accumulated experience in working with this equipment and developed infrastructure, the company is capable of providing technical and consulting support to end users.

Today, the company is actively developing not only relationships with end consumers but also significantly focusing on expanding its partner dealer network across the country.
This strategic initiative aims to establish, sustainable connections with dealers, which will, in turn, contribute to increased sales volumes and improved service levels.

Expanding the dealer network will allow the company to enhance the availability of products and services for costumers in various regions. Additionally, partnering with reliable dealers will help to establish quality support on the ground, fostering consumer loyalty and strengthening the company’s brand image.

Investing in development of this network is not just a step towards increasing market coverage but also an opportunity to implement new technologies and sales approaches, as well as to exchange experiences among partners. As a result the company will be able to reach a new level, enhancing not only its competitiveness but also the service provided to clients.

We are confident that with each new partner, we gain not only new clients but also like-minded individuals who are ready to share our values and commitment to quality. This collaboration also opens new horizons for joint growth and innovation, which will ultimately have a positive impact on the entire ecosystem of the organisation.

To date, the company has two legal entities in two types of activities
