Sergey Bachin’s Agnta group of companies has shown interest in Danone’s Russian assets, Interfax reports.
The group’s press service told the agency that the value is, first of all, the brand, and not the processing facilities, which are already sufficient in Russia.
“For us, what is important is not so much the Danone factories, especially since there is now excess processing capacity in Russia, but rather the preservation of the brands produced by the French holding and the continued development of dairy production in Russia. ”. said the company’s press service.
In April, Izvestia wrote about Danone’s plans to drop international brands in Russia. We are talking about Activia, Alpro and Actimel.
The French dairy manufacturer decided to leave the Russian market in October last year. Such a step at Danone is explained by the need to ensure the stability and efficiency of the local business for employees and consumers.
At the same time, the company is not going to transfer control over the production of baby food (Istra-Nutritsia plant, Nutrilon, Malyutka and Malysh brands)
In February, Kommersant named possible contenders for these assets: Chernogolovka Group of Companies, Rugargo Group of Companies, Cherkizovo Group, EkoNiva Group of Companies, AFK Sistema, Rumelko and Agrocomplex im. NI Tkachev.
