    Japan Tobacco International has appointed Alexander Solomakhin as director of its Donskoy Tabak factory in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, reports Interfax, citing data from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

    Prior to his current position, Solomakhin was director of sales for JTI’s southern Russia region.

    JTI Donskoy Tabak was previously headed by Sergei Lavrikov, who is currently director of the Pereslavl Tabak tobacco factory.

    JTI closed the acquisition of Donskoy Tabak, which was previously part of Agrokom Group, in 2018 and completed its merger with JTI Russia in December 2021. After the reorganization, production at the Rostov factory was taken over by JTI Donskoy Tabak.

    JTI Russia is the largest producer of tobacco products in Russia.

    The JT Group has completed the acquisition of the Donskoy Tabak (DT) companies.
    The agreement to acquire the companies was made public in a press release on March 16.

    “The acquisition of DT enables the JT Group to complement its existing product portfolio with DT’s value brands, and expand its distribution network through DT’s strong salesforce,” JT said in a statement.

    “This acquisition will reinforce the group’s No.1 position in Russia, a country which has been a key market in earnings growth for many years.”

    JT said the transaction would not have any material impact on the JT Group’s consolidated performance for the fiscal year 2018.
