Nestlé, Coca-Cola HBC, Imperial Brands, Carlsberg Among Firms To Close Ukraine Production Facilities

Nestlé said it has temporarily closed its factories, warehouses and supply chain in Ukraine following the Russian invasion.

The group, which has three factories and around 5,000 employees in Ukraine, said it had contingency plans in place to ensure it can restart the supply of products as soon as safe conditions allow.

Tobacco giant Imperial Brands plc suspended operations in Ukraine on Thursday, the company told Reuters, after Russia launched an invasion of the country.

The British company employs about 600 people in Ukraine.
