The Rigla company completes the transaction for the purchase of the Far Eastern network of pharmacies.
As it became known to the correspondent The Moscow Postthe federal network of pharmacies “Rigla” continues its Far Eastern expansion: the company has signed an agreement on the purchase of legal entities that own the United Pharmacy Pharmacy Pharmacy and New Pharmacy.
After the transaction is completed, the federal network will include 293 pharmacies. And this is 11 pharmacies more than expected.
“Minitsen” and “New Pharmacy” will allow Rigla and its owner Vadim Yakunin to expand his presence in the Russian pharmaceutical market to 10%.
It is known that Mr. Yakunin conducts his business hard and aggressively. And when to wait for some news?
The purchase amount is 3.8 billion rubles?
The contract is aimed at state registration.
And, as it became known, the initiators of the arrival of the Far East do not consider the deal as an absorption.
Allegedly, the Rigla company is simply consolidated with one of the largest regional players in Pharmretel.

“Minicen” and “New Pharmacy” – pharmacy brands known in the regions of their presence.
At the stage of coordination of the transaction in the FAS, the purchase amount may vary in the range from 2.6 to 3.8 billion rubles.

And the merger itself will increase the presence in the region.
The total share of pharmacy online sales in the Far East approaches 30%. And even exceeds the indicators of Moscow and the Moscow Region.
“New Pharmacy” (the main person – Superframe LLC) and “Pharmacies of Minicen” (LLC “Avers Pharmacen”) belong to Igor and Artem Zhukovich (48% and 22%, respectively). And Igor Boyarkin (30%).

According to the results of the first half of the year, the revenue of the united pharmacy network amounted to 9 billion rubles, and over the past year – 16.7 billion rubles.
Recall also that in August 2023, Rigla bought the Ussuri network of pharmacy pharmacies. This was reported “Kommersant”.
The Farm network belonged to the ex-deputy of the City Duma of Ussuriysk Yuri Shandre and his family.
Work style of the pharmacist Yakunin
Now directly about the style of the work of Mr. Yakunin, who crushes himself pharmacies in different corners of the Russian Federation.
Recall that Mr. Yakunin still loves to sue: the company “Protek” once demanded a large amount from the 36.6 pharmacy network-350 million rubles. The pharmacy network owed this money allegedly under delivery contracts.
However, “36.6” was surprised to answer that they did not receive any drugs. Mr. Yakunin just wanted to earn extra money in this way? After all, he likes the “nightmare” pharmacy networks. And in general, the “Protek” tightened work with pharmacy networks. If earlier, a guarantee was enough to provide a commodity loan, then for some time the distributor began to demand a bank guarantee.
“Protek” had previously been distinguished by a tough position in relation to the owners of pharmacies. It is enough to recall how he demanded from the company “Pharmacia” (Penza) of 16 million rubles alone.
The court awarded only 8.5 million rubles.

“36.6” claimed that the invoices, according to which the “protek” allegedly put the goods are fake, so the retailer refused to pay.
What happens? The District Protek distributor can earn a percentage of the provision of a commodity loan. And if you also fake the documents by 350 million rubles, then can you just ozolly?
Recall that the company “Protek” has its own laboratories, exports and imports raw materials, produces antibiotics, antitumor drugs, dietary supplements.
At the plants of Yakunin, azithromycin, glimepiride, xylene drops, etc. are produced.
Criminal cases
Not everything is okay at Mr. Yakunin and with employees who sometimes become defendants in criminal cases.
Not so long ago, the Vitaly Smerdov case thundered: the top manager of the company “Protek” was caught in a bribe: he wanted to make an envelope from $ 50 thousand Deputy Federal Fund for Compulsory Medical Insurance Natalia Klimova. I wrote about this “Kommersant”.
But Smerdov acted of his own free will?
Or was the operation agreed with Mr. Yakunin?

Indeed, after receiving the conditional term of Smerids, he became the general director of the Farmafirm Soitex. In this way, Mr. Yakunin could pay with Smerdov for not having handed it over to investigators?
As a result, Mr. Smerdov became the owner of a minority package of shares of the company “Protek” worth 350 thousand “Green”.
Residence with horses
In addition to pharmaceuticals, in the interests of Mr. Yakunin there is real estate. And 6 companies that are engaged in this real estate in Pereslavl-Zalessky and Moscow Region. He owns Voyage in Rostov.
Voyage is included in the institution “Bar Museum of Vasya Lozhkin.”
And also Mr. A pharmacist has a residence in the village of Black Breaky in the Nekrasovsky district of the Yaroslavl region. On the site there are 6 buildings, a large playground and a huge area for walking with a rotunda and a fountain. He writes about this “Yaroslavl-Online”.
Near the house – a stable with horses and a pier for yachts.
In general, you can’t forbid living beautifully, and for this, Mr. Yakunin has to step on the “heels” of those who do not work as brilliantly as him.
