Now is the time to think about the Russian market

Brussels, December 2015 - Ever since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Russia has developed into one of the most important markets for European manufacturers of indoor climate, process cooling, and food cold chain technologies.

European companies employ thousands of people in Russia, have set up domestic manufacturing and R&D units, and have been playing an important role in supporting the country’s modernisation since the early 1990s.
