What Innos does

Автокухня (Auto Kitchen), operating in association with the firmographic entry "Innos," is a Moscow-based vehicle-import intermediary that procures automobiles, motorcycles, watercraft, and industrial/commercial equipment from international auctions (notably Manheim and Copart) across the USA, England, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and France for resale into the Russian and Belarusian markets. The company's product portfolio is organized around two parallel offerings: whole imported vehicles (used, new, and salvage/damaged units sold at up to 30% below domestic-market pricing), and car kits — disassembled vehicle sets sourced from American, British, German, Italian, Japanese, and Korean auctions intended for reassembly or parts resale by auto-parts businesses and individual buyers. Supporting digital tools include a database search interface with filters by make, model, year, and country of origin, an online customs-duty calculator, and a cargo-tracking module for in-transit orders.

The business model is transaction-based: revenue is earned via markups and service fees layered on auction purchases, plus logistics, customs clearance, insurance, and door-to-door delivery to the customer's city. Pricing is not publicly listed; every quote is derived from a specific auction lot plus associated service charges. The go-to-market is sales-led and hybrid in segmentation — a primary B2B segment of auto-parts resellers purchasing whole vehicle lots for disassembly, and a secondary B2C segment of individual consumers seeking imported vehicles or kits. Marketing runs through the company's own e-commerce site (autokitchen.ru), phone/email direct engagement, and presence on international auction marketplaces, with a dedicated Belarusian storefront (usamotors.by) signaling cross-border expansion. The firm operates without disclosed proprietary technology, patents, AI capabilities, or external funding events.

Direct peers

• Copart: Copart is a US-headquartered online auto auction platform operating globally. It is comparable because it is the upstream source the subject company uses to procure damaged and used vehicles for Russian/Belarusian resale, and it also operates a vehicle remarketing business model that closely mirrors the company's buy-aggregate-fulfill model.
• Manheim: Manheim is a global wholesale vehicle auction platform and a primary procurement partner of the subject company. It is comparable because it facilitates the same type of used and salvage vehicle transactions the subject company monetizes, and runs remarketing auctions in the USA and UK that directly feed the subject company's import pipeline.
• Forward Auto: Forward Auto is a Russian company that imports vehicles from US auctions such as Copart and IAAI for sale on the Russian market. It is comparable because it operates the same damaged/used vehicle import arbitrage model and serves both B2B parts resellers and retail buyers.
• Atlantic Express (Атлантик Экспресс): Atlantic Express is a Russian vehicle import specialist that brings used and damaged cars from US and European auctions to the Russian market. It is comparable because it pursues the same cross-border auction-to-customer model, targets the same Russian consumer and reseller segments, and competes head-to-head for the same Manheim/Copart inventory.
• IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions / IAAI): IAA is a US salvage and used-vehicle auction platform owned by Ritchie Bros. It is comparable because it operates in the same total-loss and salvage vehicle auction category as Copart and Manheim, offering the inventory mix (damaged, salvage, used cars) that the subject company targets for parts and resale into Russia and Belarus.

Broad incumbents

• Sollers: Sollers is a major Russian automotive group with manufacturing and distribution operations across multiple vehicle categories. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in the Russian auto market whose dealer and parts network touches the same demand pool the subject company serves, and it represents a potential strategic channel for imported inventory.

Regional players

• Avtocentr AvtoNomer: Avtocentr AvtoNomer is a Russian auto services and parts platform serving both retail and B2B parts buyers. It is comparable because the parts-reseller segment the subject company targets overlaps with the buyer base of such Russian auto-parts marketplaces.
• Drive1: Drive1 is a Russian online used-car marketplace. It is comparable as an adjacent marketplace that aggregates used-vehicle demand in Russia and could either compete with or distribute the subject company's import inventory to retail buyers.
