Roshen is a Ukrainian confectionery- manufacturing group, controlled by politician Petro Poroshenko. It united confectionery factories in Ukrainian cities of Kiev, Vinnytsia, Mariupol and Kremenchuk, as well as in Klaipeda (Lithuania) and Lipetsk (Russia). The name of the company is created from the last name of its owner, Poroshenko.

"ROSHEN" (depicted in capitalized Latinic only) is the umbrella brand of all of the corporation's products.

Roshen makes a wide range of confectionery, but is famous mostly by "Kiev Vechirniy" chocolate candy and Kiev cakes, produced by the Karl Marx chocolate factory in Kiev. The corporation has a wide range of more affordable and less sophisticated products famous for high chocolate content.
