THE OLDEST PLANT IN KHAKASSIA IS AGAIN TRYING TO DECLARE BANKRUPT

The application for insolvency of the Abakan Experimental Mechanical Plant (AOMZ) was submitted to arbitration by representatives of the Federal Tax Service Administration. The firm, according to the court file, owed the state more than 14.6 million rubles.

Last year Rusbankrot already wrote about a similar attempt by the tax authorities to bankrupt the oldest enterprise in Khakassia. Then the amount of claims was 16.8 million rubles. But the company managed to solve financial difficulties.

The plant has been operating in the republic since 1958. It is based on the repair workshops of the Khakasles Trust, which worked with logging equipment. Gradually, the company began to produce its own special equipment (tractors and forest fire engines). A few years ago, the organization received a contract for the production of metal structures necessary for the restoration of the bridge over the Yenisei.

The main beneficiaries of the company, established in 1993 and managing the activities of the plant, are Gennady Innokentievich Tsapyshev and his son Oleg. According to the published information, they own stakes of 25.5% and 28.2%, respectively. Another 37.8% of the shares are owned by Elena Dankovtseva.

Until May 2021 Oleg Tsapyshev was the director of the plant. In May last year, Dmitry Pirogov took over the management of the plant. And in April 2022, the company was headed by Ivan Shesternev.

The company's management apparently managed to get used to insolvency lawsuits. During the period when Oleg Tsapyshev was the head of the plant, the company was tried to be declared insolvent three times. From March 2013 to October 2014, creditors demanded that the company pay large amounts of debt. The debt to the tax authorities alone amounted to 8.2 million rubles. However, the company has so far managed to avoid unpleasant financial consequences.
