History

2024: Blago bought Anninsky elevator from PSB

In mid-January 2024, the Blago group of companies Arkady Fosman entered into an agreement to acquire the Anninsky elevator in the Voronezh region from Promsvyazbank. The transaction amount is 365 million rubles, and another 300 million rubles are planned to be invested in the modernization of the site. Thus, the total costs amount to 665 million rubles.

Blago has rented an elevator since September 2021. It is noted that this object has significant capacity for storing and working on seeds, and its location makes it possible to ensure effective logistics of seeds to the place of processing. Sergey Bakhonkin, general director of the Blago management company, says that the site "made it possible to conduct large purchases of sunflower during the harvest period and ensure stable supplies of raw materials to the Ertilsky oil extraction plant.

However, the equipment on the Anninsky elevator was outdated by early 2024. As part of the modernization project, among other things, part of the silos will be replaced. This will increase the actual storage volume of raw materials and its turnover. In general, the project will make it possible to increase the efficiency of the elevator.

Unfortunately, now the elevator equipment is outdated and its performance has decreased. To increase it, we plan to carry out technical re-equipment of the site by the beginning of the next agricultural year, - emphasizes Bakhonkin.

The Anninsky elevator, founded in 1956, is located in a region where all types of oilseeds and cereals are traditionally grown. Within a radius of 50 km from the elevator are 415 thousand hectares of arable land. Anastasia Vladimirova, Managing Partner of IPM Consulting, notes that for Blago, owning and not renting oilseed storage facilities "is the most profitable strategy," especially given the need to modernize the leased asset.^[1]
