A bankruptcy claim was filed with the Saratov Arbitration Court against OOO Saratov-Oil. The company positions itself as the largest in the region, speaking of an extensive network of stores. The revenue is large, although it has been declining for many years. Previously, LLC was a supplier of motor oils for the Saratov Federal Security Service and the prosecutor’s office. The bankruptcy lawsuit was filed just a couple of days ago. Its author is Sberbank PJSC, the amount of claims is 27.5 million rubles. The head and founder of the company, Ivan and Elena Zvyagin, are listed as third parties in the case.
The company was established in Saratov in 2004, the main activity is the sale of auto parts, assemblies and accessories. Yuradres – Volskaya street, 70, “Profitable house”. In September last year, it was declared unreliable.
Until now, the bank has not applied to the court, so it is not yet possible to understand what the matter is. It is possible that we are talking about loans for development.
The company is engaged in sales of auto parts and motor oils. At the same time, it is positioned in the network as “one of the largest companies in the Saratov region, which carries out wholesale and retail sales of lubricants and other related fluids, as well as auto parts, auto chemicals and accessories of imported and domestic production.”
On her behalf, it is claimed that the company cooperates with leading manufacturers, it has its own warehouses, a vehicle fleet, an oil depot and a network of Econom Auto stores, now on a map of 10. They have their own service stations where customers can change the engine oil and carry out some types of auto repair.
– The management of Saratov-oil LLC plans to further expand the range of products sold, attract new partners and customers, improve the technical base, increase the level of service and expand the network of its own branded stores and gas stations, the announcement says.
True, the Saratov-oil website does not work, and the Economic Auto website lists IP Boldyrev. It accounts for only two of the 10 stores marked on Google maps as Economy Auto.
The company’s revenue has been steadily declining in recent years. In open sources, its peak falls on 2012 – 685.8 million rubles, in 2021 revenue amounted to only 201.2 million rubles.
It is likely that past successes were partly due to active participation in public procurement. The company has 205 contracts worth 151.5 million rubles. The main customers are still the regional prosecutor’s office, the city ambulance station of Saratov, and in 2015-2017 there were also the regional UFSIN and the border department of the FSB in the Saratov and Samara regions.
The head of “Saratov-oil” Ivan Zvyagin is also registered as an individual entrepreneur in Engels, engaged in sports and recreation activities. Elena Zvyagina is also registered in Engels as an individual entrepreneur, and, like Saratov-Oil, is engaged in the sale of auto parts. By the way, she has 13 government contracts worth 49.3 million rubles.
Previously, she was listed as the head of CJSC Engels-Volgaelektromontazh (liquidated in 2016) and the founder of the Engels manufacturer of rubber products Ecostep-Saratov (liquidated in 2014).
