OSTANKINO MEAT PROCESSING PLANT MAY BE PUT UP FOR SALE
The owner of OMPC (Ostankino Meat Processing Plant), which produces sausages of popular brands, is again considering the possibility of selling the business. According to Kommersant, negotiations on this issue have resumed. The potential value of the asset is estimated by the owner at 50-60 billion. However, analysts believe that these expectations are significantly overestimated, and the real market price may range from 35 to 40 billion.
Agri-food industry experts believe that the agreement will be concluded this year. However, the high stated price may again become an obstacle. Eight years ago, similar negotiations with CP Foods failed for this reason. At that time, the amount of the deal was discussed at the level of $150 million, but the parties did not come to an agreement.
Today, OMPC is one of the largest assets in the meat processing segment. The company has been operating since 1954 and has not only a Moscow factory, but also two livestock complexes. In 2024, the company increased revenue to 79.66 billion rubles (+25.39% compared to the previous year), and net profit amounted to 4.03 billion rubles. According to the National Union of Pig Breeders, the company ranks 16th in the industry in terms of pork production.
Potential buyers of the plant, according to experts, are agricultural holdings with a strong production base but limited processing capacity. Experts believe that the purchase may be of interest to those players who are looking for growth points in processing and want to enter the market with finished products under well-known brands. OMPC's steady presence in retail makes the asset attractive even with changing consumer demand.
The Tavros agroholding and other structures are among the possible buyers. The Marathon investment group is also mentioned. However, the official representatives of Tavros and Marathon deny participation in the negotiations. Other market participants, including OMPC itself, did not comment on the information about the potential deal.
It is important to note that the structure of food consumption has changed in recent years: competition from the ready-to-eat segment has increased, in which retailers are increasingly investing. According to Nielsen, the share of sales of ready meals in monetary terms has reached 7.6% and continues to grow. This creates challenges for traditional meat processors, who have to adapt their product lines to meet new consumer preferences.
