The Kama coast has been associated with milling industry for a long time. The first mill in Perm was built in 1912 by the merchant Mitrofanov. Its capacity was small - grinding 500 pounds of rye a day. A second merchant mill appeared next to the first in 1915. It belonged to Kamensky and Meshkov brothers. Its capacity was bigger and reached 1000 pounds of rye grain.

The prewar and war years dramatically changed the proportion of the urban and rural population in the region. Flour production has become an indispensable industry. The Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union ordered in a telegram to build a mill with capacity of 150 tonnes of grain per day in Perm. In 1942 a wooden three-story mill was built for producing peeled double-grained flour. It was the one provided the city with flour during the Eastern Front (World War II). Those times it had been already producing rye and wheat flour.

The mill plant building began on the territory of the mill in 1949. On December 20, 1953, the first stage of the elevator and facilities necessary for its operation were commissioned. The elevator had capacity of 12K tonnes. Spirited boys and girls from different parts of the country worked at the construction site.

On 30 June, 1955, another mill with capacity of 300 tonnes of grain per day was commissioned. The day is considered the official date of the Perm Flour Mills opening.

In 1967, the grinding and peeling sections were completely reconstructed. The packaging changed from containers to bags loading to trains. Carousel bagging machines were introduced in the production. In 1985-88, complex equipment was installed. It automized most processes, and fully mechanized the filling, suturing and shipment operations on the production and shipment line. The ‘90s were the most difficult time to the enterprise. In the period of the market relations formation, both in the country and in the industry, centralized grain supplies were cut off, as well as relations with consumers. And rival in the industry took off.

After these difficult years the company still has its staff potential, financial independence and produce competitive, high-quality products. In 2005, the powerful packaging line “Fawema” was launched. During these years, the company installed unique equipment - a photoelectronic separator granulator. A berth for loading grain by water was also built these years.

In 2012, the company decided to create a new brand of flour. There appeared a beautiful and romantic name of the Perm flour - “Bird-Mill”! The slogan for the new brand was born almost immediately:
"Bird Mill" – quality heads the bill!

Today Perm Flour Mills, JSC is the largest enterprise in the milling and cereal industry of the Western Urals producing up to 15 thousand tons of assorted products every month.
