The Swedes
Would Rather Pull Out
VSMPO-Avisma Corporation has announced
it bought out the 100 percent in Carl.Edblom.Titan
AB from Sweden Carl.Edblom.Trade AB
(CETAB), which is the majority holder
of Ukrainian CETAB-Nikopol, one of
the biggest producers of titanium
seamless pipes. It is the first time
that a foreign investor prefers to
sell its Ukrainian assets to a Russian
company on apprehension for its future.
On November 2, VSMPO-Avisma completed
the deal, which value is said to have
reached $10 million, according to
data available to Kommersant. “We
supply raw to CETAB-Nikopol and have
decided to acquire it to improve advanced
processing of delivered raw,”
a source with the corporation told
Kommersant.
VSMPO-Avisma Corporation is the
worldwide titanium/rolled metal
maker. 2004 non-audited net profit
reached $122.8 million under U.S.
GAAP. The 60-percent beneficiaries
are Vyacheslav Bresht, who chairs
the BOD of VSMPO-Avisma, and Vladislav
Tetyukhin, who is its general director.
Renaissance Capital holds around
12 percent.
CETAB-Nikopol was founded in 2001
based on production assets of Nikopol
South Pipe Plant (Russian acronym
is NYuTZ). The enterprise covers
6 percent of the world market of
titanium pipes. As of the date of
the deal, Carl.Edblom.Titan AB held
50.1 percent in CETAB-Nikopol, NYuTZ
owned the remainder.
The Sweden company might have pulled
out from CETAB-Nikopol in the aftermath
of investing instability in Ukraine,
which State Property Fund is setting
up the stage to declare null and
void NYuTZ reorganization and get
the enterprise back into the state
ownership.
Another interesting point is the
actual timing of the deal, as today
is the heat of the battle between
Bresht, Tetyukhin and Renaissance
Capital on the one hand, and Viktor
Vekselberg’s Renova Group
on the other hand. Renova is challenging
the deal whereby Bresht, Tetyukhin
and Renaissance Capital have bought
out its 13.4 percent in the corporation,
and is determined to grasp complete
control over it to establish an
aircraft holding.
