Stavropol flour milling plant files for bankruptcy

Stavropol flour milling plant files for bankruptcy

SFMP,
On January 20, 2022, the Arbitration Court of Stavropol received a claim from SFMP LLC, which operated the oldest flour mill in the region.  The company has filed an insolvency claim, indicating the presence of a debt in the amount of 11 million 318 thousand rubles (case No. A63-657 / 2022).

The plant is located in the regional capital at Zheleznodorozhnaya-1 (TIN 2636211089).  Azat Abrahamyan is currently the sole owner and head of the organization.  The legal entity was registered in 2016, the authorized capital of the organization is 0.5 million rubles.

What caused the financial problems at the enterprise is still unclear.  The file of arbitration cases contains information about the litigation that the agro-industrial company Soyuz is conducting with SFMP.  The plaintiff demands 13.149 million rubles from the flour milling plant in Stavropol.

The flour milling started its history in 1908.  At the very beginning of the work of the enterprise, it was the ‘K.  Anpetkov and A. Unakov’ trading house, when pre-revolutionary entrepreneurs acquired a plot for grain trading and the construction of a steam roller mill.
Then the volume of grain grinding reached 7.5 thousand poods daily (1 pood - 16 kg).
Guests of Stavropol are usually surprised by the construction of a six-story mill building as an unusual piece of architecture.  At the same time, during its history, the plant has experienced many misfortunes, including bankruptcies.  Since 1993, the plant has been managed by SFMP OJSC, which was subsequently liquidated on August 28, 2020 in connection with the completion of the bankruptcy proceedings in case No. A63-13004 / 2013.

In August 2017, Moskovsky Komsomolets wrote that a new investor, whose team began to restore enterprises, came to the mill. The media outlet pointed to the authoritative Stavropol businessman Andrei Kukhar as the ‘savior of the plant from collapse’
Already in 2018, a bankruptcy case was opened against Andriy Kukhar (No. A63-17849/2018).
At the end of July 2018, the media reported that Andrei Kukhar, the full namesake of the ‘savior’ of the company, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison and a fine of 800 thousand rubles.  The media described in detail the process during which the ‘Kuhar’s gang’, which tried to take away hectares of farmland from local farmers in 2015-2016, was convicted.  At the same time, the leader of the gang, having the support of individual employees of the local administration and the police, in the course of the investigation made a deal with the investigation and gave evidence against his accomplices.
