The manufacturer of “Domestos” thought about leaving Russia

The British group Unliver did not rule out a complete withdrawal from the Russian market. This follows from the company’s financial report for the past year.

Now the Russian “daughter” of Unilever employs more than three thousand employees, business in the Russian Federation gives the group 1.4 percent of the group’s turnover and two percent of its profits. The cost of the Russian enterprises of the company is estimated at 900 million euros.

In March last year, Unliver announced the termination of the supply of products to and from Russia, and it also reduced funding for projects in the Russian Federation.

“Unilever’s position in Russia has not changed. Unilever enterprises in Omsk, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg and Tula continue to operate, and offices continue to operate in the country, ensuring the presence of brands at points of sale. The company’s priority remains to ensure the high quality and availability of its products for Russian consumers,” the company said.

Unliver owns cleaning brands such as Domestos and Cif, Dove and L’Oreal care products, Rexona and Axe. The company also produces ice cream “Gold Standard”, “Magnat” and Cornetto.
