The brewery in Latika is threatened with bankruptcy due to waste dumping. Samara LLC Volzhsky Magistralny Kollektor plans to apply to the arbitration court to declare the Baltic beer company bankrupt. The announcement was published on FedEx on October 27, Kommersant noted. The amount of claims of the service company is about 94.2 million rubles. Baltica denied any signs of insolvency. The company stated that the opposing party's move was intended to manipulate the trial ahead of the meeting scheduled for November 3. There, the brewing giant intends to appeal the decision to collect the debt. The conflict between the parties has continued since 2020 and concerns the removal of industrial wastewater. The collector discovered a pipe in his storage pool through which the Baltika-Samara branch had been taking out waste without a contract for two years. In total, more than a dozen proceedings between companies were registered in courts of arbitration; Only in October did the wastewater operator file five more lawsuits against the manufacturer. Such postings on Fedresource are often intended to push the debtor to settle or negotiate, as they may entail reputational risks and difficulties with creditor banks.
