The long period of interim measures imposed by the court during the nationalization of the assets of Ariant Group affected the financing. The company cannot get new loans.
The plant hopes that the measures are temporary, and also wants to preserve production facilities and the workforce. This will make it possible to resume the shipment of goods to the alcohol market network. The company intends to restore the operation of the lines by October this year.
There are 4 bottling lines at the plant of the Center of the Food Industry — Ariant. They produce sparkling wine drinks Piccole Bolle and Villa Blanca, rum Mama Jama and Torcedor, whiskey James Barley and Carte Blanche and other products. The annual output is 60 million bottles. Until April, the company was owned by Ariant Group, which was nationalized, RBC reports.
