Tulachermet and Tulatochmash received warnings for alcohol turnover

Undeclared alcohol

From the inspection documents on the website "Kontur.Focus" you can learn that in the course of monitoring compliance with the mandatory requirements of the IRU Rosalkogoltabakkontrol for the Central Federal District analyzed data from federal information systems and information about supplies. It turned out that Kirov Biochemical Plant LLC for the period from April 1 to June 30, 2026 delivered alcohol in the amount of 12 decaliters (120 liters) to the Tula metallurgical enterprise.

As far as can be judged, ethyl rectified alcohol from non-food plant raw materials was delivered to Tulachermet. We are talking about technical hydrolysis alcohol, which Kirov Biochemical Plant produces from wood waste. It is not a food or drinkable product, but an industrial solvent.

Despite the supply of 120 liters of alcohol, Tulachermet JSC has not submitted a declaration on the volume of purchase of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products in the form of an appendix to the procedure approved by the order of Rosalkogolregulation dated December 17, 2020. Such declarations must be submitted by all organizations that purchase ethanol, even if it is a small volume.

Failure to provide such declarations is an administrative violation. The fine for legal entities in this case is from 50 to 100 thousand rubles, for officials – from 5 to 10 thousand rubles.

Why JSC "Tulachermet" needed technical alcohol in the materials of the inspection is not disclosed. Apparently, such alcohol can go for auxiliary needs, in particular, it may be needed as a solvent for cleaning equipment, components and parts, laboratory purposes (chemical analysis, sample preparation), repair and maintenance work, possible washing compounds or special technical fluids. Although it is possible that there were other purposes of purchasing alcohol.

Interestingly, similar inspections were carried out in respect of other Tula enterprises. In particular, on the same site "Kontour.Focus" you can find out that JSC "Tulatochmash" in 2025-2026 received similar warnings from the IDU of Rosalkogoltabakkontrol in the Central Federal District according to the same scheme.

The supervisory authority revealed the supply of technical alcohol from the same LLC "Kirov Biochemical Plant" (KIBIH) to Tulatochmash in the amount of more than 414 dal (over 4.1 thousand liters) and just as it was revealed the absence of a declaration on the volume of purchase. The supervisory authority in these cases was limited not to imposing a fine, but to issuing warnings.

Alas, the complete archive of Rosalkogoltabakkontrol is inaccessible to a wide audience. Therefore, it is impossible to rule out 100% that some earlier cases simply did not get into public registers.

Bound in the courts

We will remind, earlier "MK in Tula" has repeatedly written about the courts of the company "Tulachermet" and other firms included in the metallurgical holding "Cox". Over the past six months, more than 100 lawsuits have been filed against Tulachermet JSC.

Currently, Tulachermet JSC acts as defendants in 60 lawsuits for a total amount of 159 million rubles and acts as a plaintiff in 10 cases for a total amount of 80 million rubles.

In addition, the editorial board has repeatedly touched upon the difficult financial situation with the companies of the Industrial and Metallurgical Holding (Cox Metallurgical Holding) of Evgeny Zubitsky.

He owns enterprises for the extraction and processing of coking coal and iron ore, the production of coke, iron smelting, the production of cast iron, metal structures, machine-building equipment and powder materials. The company's assets are located in the Kemerovo, Belgorod, Tula and Kaluga regions.

In addition, the lawsuit against the foreign company Sipko B.V. from the Netherlands continues. It was about excluding Sipko B.V. (Sipko B.V.) from among the participants of LLC "Promsort-Tula", on the recognition for LLC "Promsort-Tula" ownership of 1/3 of the share in the authorized capital of the company.
