Ponsse decides to divest its operations in Russia

The divestment of all shares in OOO Ponsse, Ponsse Group’s subsidiary providing PONSSE services in Russia and Belarus, is currently being negotiated. The signing will be completed in the near future.

“We have been looking for a solution to the challenging situation regarding operations in Russia. We have decided to divest our operations in Russia and Belarus. Operating in Russia has become very difficult, and the divestment is also the best option for our local personnel, customers and dealers. We will continue the export restrictions in accordance with economic sanctions and our company’s guidelines,” says Juho Nummela, President and CEO of Ponsse Group.

Ponsse’s export and service operations in Russia have been suspended since 2 March 2022 when the company announced that it will suspend all exports to Russia and Belarus. At the same time, OOO Ponsse suspended its local spare parts and maintenance services.
