Unilever Will Expand Production Capacities In Russia, Company Chairman Says

Unilever plans to expand its manufacturing capacities in Russia in the long term, according to chairman Michael Treschow. Speaking at the 2016 Boao Forum for Asia in China, Treschow said, however, that his company is not relocating production facilities from China to Russia. Operating in Russia since 1992, Unilever operates four large manufacturing locations in the country. It manufactures dressing, tea, and home and personal care products in Saint Petersburg, food and ice cream in Tula and Omsk, and cosmetics in Ekaterinburg.
