Businessman Igor Kim, to whom leasing and production assets of several foreign companies were transferred over the past year, may acquire a leasing company from the perimeter of the Japanese company Mitsubishi, MC Intermark Auto. This was reported by a source to the Interfax agency.
It is a leasing subsidiary of a Japanese conglomerate, whose assets can be acquired by Igor Kim’s ExpoCapital fund. In winter, this structure acquired the leasing and factoring company of the agricultural equipment manufacturer CNH Industrial – IFS Leasing LLC.
Previously, Kim gained control of the Russian subsidiaries of Swedish carmaker Volvo. Thus, one of the businessman’s partners, Alexey Sannikov, was appointed general director of the Volvo Trucks plant. And the leasing company Volvo AB was run by another of Kim’s partners, Nikita Ryauzov.
The MC Intermark Auto leasing company has been operating since 2004 and manages a fleet of more than 2,000 vehicles in 150 cities in Russia. In 2019, the structure entered the perimeter of Mitsubishi Corporation.
The organization’s revenue at the end of 2022 increased 1.6 times compared to 2021 and amounted to 3.6 billion rubles. Net profit is estimated at 431 million rubles, 5.4 times more than the previous year.
The owner of 100% of the company’s shares is Intermark Leasing, registered in the British Virgin Islands.
Mitsubishi Corporation partially maintained its presence in Russia. And although the corporation suspended product deliveries to the country and also stopped producing cars at the Kaluga plant, the company decided not to abandon the Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project.
