Sibirsky Syr occupies 2.3 hectares of land and is equipped with 5,500 square meters of refrigerating facilities, 1,900 square meters of warehousing space and 1,000 square meters of office space. The warehousing facilities are easily accessible by road and rail. The acquisition allows the company to save on rental expenses associated with warehousing and office space and provides a more economical alternative to building a new facility.
The acquisition will greatly improve the logistical base for Sibirskoe Moloko, by enhancing Wimm-Bill-Dann’s distribution capability and providing the company with a solid base to keep up with anticipated growth in the key Siberian marketplace.
