The American company Whirlpool Corporation, which owns the Indesit և Hotpoint brands, is also leaving Russia to sell its assets to the Turkish Arcelik.
Whirlpool Corporation manufactured refrigerators and washing machines in Russia at two Lipetsk plants, but shut down in early March.
Following the invasion of Ukraine, as a result of Western sanctions against Russia, many leading companies in various sectors of the world economy have announced that they are leaving the country, ceasing or restricting their activities there.
