The leading German coffee roaster Tchibo has completely given up its business in Russia because of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine.
The company there had already been sold at the beginning of July, a spokesman said on Friday in Hamburg for the German Press Agency. The company only offered coffee products in Russia and stopped supplying coffee at the beginning of the war at the end of February. "The roasting of Tchibo coffee at a contract manufacturer in Russia was terminated and all marketing activities and the online presence were stopped."
With more than 11,000 employees worldwide and a turnover of more than three billion euros, Tchibo is the roasted coffee market leader in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary and is one of the leading e-commerce companies in Europe. (dpa)
