Unilever has completed the sale of its Russian subsidiary to Arnest Group, a Russian manufacturer of perfume, cosmetics, and household products. The sale includes all of Unilever’s business in Russia and its four factories in the country. The business in Belarus is also included in the sale. Unilever said: “Over the past year, we have been carefully preparing the Unilever Russia business for a potential sale. This work has been very complex, and has involved separating IT platforms and supply chains, as well as migrating brands to Cyrillic.” The completion of the sale ends Unilever Russia’s presence in the country. Terms of the deal are not being disclosed.
