Logistics & Tochka LLC files petition with FAS to purchase Russian asset of McDonald's logistics partner

MOSCOW. Dec 8 (Interfax) - Logistics and Tochka LLC, owned by Alexander Govor, who bought McDonald's business in Russia, has filed a petition with the Russian Federal Anti-monopoly Service (FAS) to purchase the Russian assets of HAVI, the regulator said in a statement.

HAVI is a logistics partner of McDonald's that specializes in supply chain management, packaging, logistics and recycling. The company has been operating in Russia since 2003.

It was reported in November that Govor planned to buy the Russian business of the fast food chain's logistics partner. The amount of the transaction has not been disclosed.

Govor in early June became the owner of the McDonald's Corp. restaurants in Russia. Following some downtime and the change in ownership, the fast food chain resumed operating under the new name of Vkusno & tochka [Tasty and that's it]. Govor was a franchise partner of McDonald's, having managed 25 restaurants in Siberia since 2015.
