Nestlé-Geschäft in Russland unter Zwangsverwaltung – der Schritt könnte die Versorgungssicherheit gefährden

Nach dem Beginn des Ukraine-Kriegs ist Nestlé in Russland geblieben. Im Vergleich zu anderen Fällen ist der Angriff auf den Konzern deshalb eher ungewöhnlich.

Nestlé-Geschäft in Russland unter Zwangsverwaltung – der Schritt könnte die Versorgungssicherheit gefährden

Nestlé's Russian business remained under Russian government control, prompting concerns about supply security. This unprecedented step followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In August, the Russian government placed Nestlé's Russian subsidiaries under compulsory supervision, claiming the company was not expanding production and not exporting products from Russia.

However, Nestlé adheres to all Russian laws, according to a spokesperson. Russia's use of formal legal procedures is questioned, as the true motivation remains unclear. Russian business experts suggest that the government might be interested in acquiring Nestlé's profitable operations, particularly in baby formula and coffee production, which require specialized knowledge.

The compulsory supervision could jeopardize Russia's supply security, as Nestlé has been actively maintaining production in the country since the war began.
