Roca Sanitary Continues To Operate 7 Russian Factories

Dozens of companies have suspended their operations in Russia since the Russia-Ukraine conflict. One of the latest companies to call a halt is IKEA, which has temporarily suspended operations in Russia and Belarus. The Spanish bathroom brand Roca Group, з другога боку, is currently maintaining operations at seven factories in Russia.

Roca Group spokesman Roca explained that Roca has seven production sites in Russia, mainly to meet domestic sales demand in Russia. Most of the raw material supplies needed for manufacturing, especially for bathtubs and faucets, are sourced locally. У выніку, raw material import restrictions have had a limited impact on Roca Bath’s day-to-day business activities.

Аднак, Roca added that the commercial offices in Russia and Ukraine are closed. They explained, “We have been in close contact to closely follow and assess the evolution of events.” If the economic impact on Russia due to Western sanctions remains to be seen, the company may be forced to cease operations if it causes a drop in consumption.

The Roca Group had already closed its Alcaláde Henares (Madrid) shutter factory, which served the Russian market, earlier. Аднак, it was not because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The company stopped its operation two and a half years ago due to excess inventory. It provided a temporary employment regulation document (ERTE) for the entire workforce, which will still be valid in March 2022. Таму, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict does not require further adjustments to production activities.
