After the dismissal of the last 300 workers at the tractor plant, it seemed that the Soviet giant had sunk into oblivion forever. But, as in any series, there was a plot loophole. And now, after half a month, the plant again began to recruit its old workers. And not as the Cheboksary Promtractor, but as VMTZ LLC. A representative of the owner, the Tractor Plants concern, told what has been happening at the enterprise recently and what awaits VMTZ in the future.

Cheboksary voyage

On July 20, when at the old VMTZ entrance they were handing out work books, workers asked where the idea of ​​​​transferring to the Cheboksary Promtractor came from. Wasn’t it possible to leave everyone as part of the native VMTZ? It turned out that it was impossible. The Tractor Plants concern said that the culprit was a conflict with the owner of the plant building, VTZ Regulated Development Zone LLC. This fragment of the old Soviet tractor empire itself has already fallen into a pre-bankruptcy coma, owing debt to everyone it can. He no longer wanted to contact the equally sick VMTZ. In general, the owner of the building closed the entrance.

To save the team, the workers were transferred to Promtractor in Cheboksary, one of the concern’s 60 enterprises. They thought that they would solve the problems quickly and keep people idle for a while. Did not work out. As a result, six months later the Vladimir branch of Promtractor had to be liquidated. VMTZ LLC remained.

Without assembly, but with work

Having liquidated the Promtractor subsidiary, KTZ did not bury the Vladimir Tractor Plant. On the contrary, they even found a use for it. Now it is considered as a plant for the production of 1.4 traction class motors - the most popular in Russian agricultural machinery. Import substitution played a role here. Now such engines are mainly imported from Minsk. There is no talk about changing the profile or returning assembly shops now. there is talk. However, when the last full-fledged tractor rolled off the VTZ assembly line, no one seems to remember.

In a few months, Tractor Plants plans to restore order on the factory territory and prepare the documents necessary for work. Former factory workers have already begun to be accepted back. All that remains is to wait for the bankruptcy problems to be resolved. And here new actors enter the stage.

They'll pay for everything

To solve all problems, you first need to pay off your debts. The Tractor Plants concern can no longer decide anything on its own; it is being led by the hand by the defense industry giant Rostec. Rostec, of course, has its own plans; the production of agricultural equipment is not in its hands. Therefore, the agricultural sector found an investor - the Transport Components holding. He seems to be ready to pay, but not everything is in his hands. The decision to launch will be made jointly with the lender, Vnesheconombank. It turns out that the fate of the plant today is in the hands of bankers.

New "Promtractor"

Our questions about the fate of the tractor plant were also answered by the Rostec Corporation. They are also confident that the plant will definitely start working, and they promise to bring back the old workers. But not to the native and beloved VMTZ LLC, but to the new, already second division of the Cheboksary Promtractor. The old one, which burst on June 20, was closed as part of the general default strategy. Translating into Russian, this makes it easier for corporations to work with enterprises and their employees.

Whether it will be possible to earn the second incarnation of Promtractor on Vladimir soil, time will tell. Well, you and I, apparently, will see more than one episode of this factory drama.

JSC Kurgan Machine-Building Plant, which has been part of the machine-building and industrial concern Tractor Plants for the last 13 years, demanded over 2.71 billion rubles from one of the concern’s companies. The Moscow Arbitration Court received two claims from the joint-stock company, in which the defendant is Concern Tractor Plants LLC; the cases have not yet been accepted for proceedings. Also, the consideration of the bankruptcy claim of the Kurganmashplant itself was once again postponed - this time to October 9, 2018, the correspondent reports IA REGNUM.

Both claims against the concern were filed on September 4, 2018. The first of them, the plant, which is the only manufacturer of infantry fighting vehicles in Russia, demanded 22,973,200.05 rubles from the LLC, and the second - 2,687,833,055.85 rubles. The second claim due to shortcomings was left without progress until October 5, 2018.

By according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, LLC, which is the defendant in the case, was created on September 8, 2003 in Moscow, its authorized capital— 512,755,400 rubles, main activity — investments in securities. General Director — Alexander Kildirov, founders - Cheboksary Aggregate Plant OJSC, also part of the Tractor Plants concern, and Alla Kruzhkova, who is the general director of OJSC Agromashholding. The latter was established by OJSC Sibmashholding and LLC Foreign Trade Company VGTZ, both companies have already been liquidated.

The defendant company is also a co-founder of the Moscow LLC AMH-Invest, the second co-founder, but with a tiny share of which he acts Mikhail Bolotin- Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Tractor Plants concern. In turn, AMH-Invest LLC, specializing in investments in securities, acted as a co-founder of Oryol Combine Harvester Plant LLC and Krasor LLC, which have already been liquidated today.

Let us remind you that the machine-building and industrial concern “Tractor Plants” includes several dozen companies in eight regions of Russia. In addition to the Kurgan region, enterprises operate in Chuvashia, Mordovia, Karelia, Altai Territory, Vladimir, Volgograd and Lipetsk regions. In 2011, the concern received a loan from six banks, and in 2015 it was bought out by Vnesheconombank, the amount of the group’s debt exceeded 68.5 billion rubles. The group was unable to pay off its debts and two years later VEB went to court. In particular, the creditor demanded bankruptcy of the management company, LLC Corporate Management Company Concern Tractor Plants. To date, the company is under surveillance; no decision has been made to move to the next stage of bankruptcy; on August 28, 2018, proceedings on the claim were suspended.

Also in August 2018, the concern was transferred state corporation"Rostec". It will take control of the group's defense "pool", and a private investor will be found for civilian enterprises. At the same time, the head of VEB Igor Shuvalov assured that the concern is expecting financial recovery and debt restructuring.

Meanwhile, at the beginning of September 2018, the general director of the concern was declared bankrupt Albert Bakov, next in line is a similar lawsuit from the same PJSC B&N Bank against the chairman of the board of directors of the concern, Mikhail Bolotin. The hearing is scheduled for September 11, 2018.

The Kurganmashzavod bankruptcy case has been dragging on since mid-March 2017, when PJSC Transfin-M filed a claim for 129,132,079.07 rubles. Later, eight more companies joined him with the same demands. Among the applicants who demanded that the Ural enterprise be declared insolvent are JSC Chelyabinsk Forging and Press Plant, JSC Minsk Mechanical Plant named after S.I. Vavilov - Management Company holding "BelOMO", PJSC special mechanical engineering and metallurgy "Motovilikha Plants" and the state corporation "Bank for Development and foreign economic activity"(Vnesheconombank). It was the latter that put forward the most significant claims of all creditors - over 68.51 billion rubles. Most of the declared bankruptcy claims of Kurganmashzavod were rejected, including those of the original plaintiff, but VEB’s claim has not yet been considered. The hearing was supposed to take place on September 6, 2018, but the meeting was postponed again - this time to October 9, 2018.

Background

The machine-building and industrial concern "Tractor Plants" included over two dozen legal entities, including defense plants and factories for the production of civil equipment in different regions Russia (Chuvashia, Mordovia, Karelia, Altai and Krasnoyarsk territories, Lipetsk, Vladimir, Volgograd, Kurgan regions). The main civil division of the concern is represented by the largest city-forming enterprises of Chuvashia. In 2011, the concern received a multi-billion dollar loan from a consortium of banks, the right of claim for which was purchased by Vnesheconombank in 2015. The latter, since 2017, after debt arose on a previously issued loan, organized a large-scale legal campaign to recover debts from the group’s enterprises that acted as guarantors; bankruptcy claims were also filed. The concern began to experience financial difficulties, and a number of factories faced a pre-bankruptcy situation. According to various sources, by that time the total debt of the concern amounted to 70-90 billion rubles.

In April 2018, the Rostec state corporation decided to buy out the right to claim the debt and actually gain control over the concern. Rostec announced its intention to take control of the defense part of the “pool” and transfer civilian enterprises to a private investor - Transport Components Holding LLC, whose owner at that time was the Cypriot company Tadorix Consultants Limited. VEB confirmed these plans in August 2018, and in September 2018 Rostec established a “subsidiary” LLC KTZ, which became VEB’s procedural successor in court cases to collect a multibillion-dollar debt. After this, a number of bankruptcy proceedings were terminated due to the withdrawal of claims by the main creditor, which was VEB.

In December 2018, KTZ LLC was transferred to Tver Foundry Production LLC, whose owner is companies affiliated with both Rostec and the Transport Components Holding company. From that moment on, the transition of the enterprises of the Tractor Plants concern to the management of Rostec and the Transport Components Holding company began. Since the end of February 2019, one of the basic defense enterprises of the concern - the only Russian manufacturer of infantry fighting vehicles, PJSC Kurgan Machine-Building Plant, came under the control of JSC NPO High-Precision Complexes, which is part of the Rostec State Corporation.

The Transcomponent holding will buy out the Tractor Plants concern, whose debts exceed 100 billion rubles, for a “symbolic amount”. The deal will help prevent disruption of state defense orders

The Rostec State Corporation will lead the Tractor Plants (KTZ) concern out of the crisis by using public-private partnership mechanisms. The Transport Components holding (HTK) will be involved in the financial recovery of the concern. A source in the military-industrial complex reported this to RBC.

KTZ shares will be sold to a private investor under an obligation to resolve deficit issues working capital, to restructure the multi-billion dollar accounts payable concern and provide effective work enterprises, a source explained to RBC. The decision to bring KTZ out of the crisis was made at a meeting of the Rostec board on April 18.

The press service of the state corporation confirmed this information: “The issues were indeed considered and resolved positively.”

According to the source, Transcomponent will buy 100% of the shares of KTZ. “The transaction amount is symbolic. This is due to the fact that the concern’s debts actually exceed the value of the company itself,” he explained. The Rostec press service “refused to voice the parameters of the deal.”

At the same time, the actual holder of KTZ shares will be a new “subsidiary” of the holding, in which more than 30% will belong to “High-Precision Complexes” of Rostec. The new owner will buy the debts of KTZ from the main creditor, Vnesheconombank.

“At the next stage of the deal, it is planned to separate the enterprises of the civilian and military divisions of KTZ,” notes an RBC source. According to him, the debts of the military division of KTZ will be transferred to High-Precision Complexes, and the civil division - to Transcomponent. As a result of the transaction, the KTZ military division will actually become a sub-holding of High-Precision Complexes, the source noted.

Determination of all parameters of upcoming transactions is planned to be completed in the first half of 2018.

As RBC previously reported, the most difficult situation among KTZ enterprises is observed at Kurganmashzavod. The functions and defense contracts of this enterprise will be transferred to the Tula Instrument Design Bureau, the RBC source added. According to him, production sites and labor collectives Kurganmashzavod in Kurgan and Volgograd will be formally reassigned to the Tula enterprise. This work organization scheme was supported by the Ministry of Defense and the military-industrial complex board.

Rostec believes that the measures taken will “prevent the disruption of state defense orders, support production, and also maintain social stability in the concern, which employs more than 20 thousand people.”

Tractor Plants is more than 90% owned by MIG KTZ, which is affiliated with the Dutch Machinery & Industrial Group N.V. The latter company is associated with KTZ top managers Albert Bakov and Mikhail Bolotin.

The concern has been experiencing serious financial difficulties and was declared bankrupt. The total debts of KTZ exceed 100 billion rubles. The main creditor of KTZ is Vnesheconombank; the concern’s debt to Rostec amounts to more than 4 billion rubles.

The SPARK database indicates that Transcomponent is owned by the Cypriot Tadorix Consultants Limited. Transmashdiesel, another company of the Cypriot Tadorix, is a partner of Transmashholding Andrey Bokarev and Iskandar Makhmudov.
