Reuters2022-03-23

Swiss plumbing materials supplier Geberit has reduced its activities in Russia following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, the company said on Wednesday.

The company has halted selling its premium and luxury products such as shower toilets for hotels, stopped taking orders from new customers and ended its marketing activities.

Geberit had previously said it was continuing its operations in Russia, where it employs 70 people at its offices in Moscow. It has already shut its factory and offices in Ukraine.

Western companies still operating in Russia have come under increasing pressure to halt their activities. On Wednesday Nestle said it will halt the sale of several non-essential products including KitKat candy bars and Nesquik chocolate drink in Russia.
