As a consequence of current situation and its evolution, Teknos Group suspended its Russian op-erations in March 2022, and in April 2022 announced planning of controlled exit from Russian market. The process has been completed on July 11, 2022, as 100% of shares in Russian entity – Teknos OOO – were sold.
