Recall that in March, the Russian plant Continental suspended work, but then resumed it. The entire line of tire products is now produced in full. Interestingly, the German manufacturer is not hindered by violations of supply chains. And other brands that left Russia covered themselves with this.
Just the other day, the management of Continental AG announced that they want to leave the Russian market. But this is "controlled care". The Kaluga plant is planned to be sold. Now it is difficult to say how long the process will take.
Here's what the drivers think:
I admire the cunning of the leaders of Continental AG. They played smart. While the "shinniks" are losing millions of dollars and euros, these are quietly working. They seem to support sanctions, but the supply chains are functioning. Now all the "cream" will be collected.

I agree, it’s also not clear to me what kind of “controlled care” this is. It can go on for years. Yes, in fact, it has been going on for so long.

And I'll tell you how long this plant stood. About a month. Already on April 20, 2022, production was resumed. So there are cunning businessmen who are able to maneuver between two fires.

I have always bought tires from this brand. And I will tell you my vision of the situation. “Shoes” for cars have risen in price in the spring of 2022. Therefore, Continental restarted production. A banal attempt to make money, which, by the way, was completely successful.

It seems to me that if they wanted to leave Russia, they would have done it long ago. It's just that their leaders of the EU countries are having a nightmare, so they come up with different reasons. I don’t know what they used to say, but now here is a “controlled exit”. In general, well done - I fully support them! Although, they cash in on our drivers great.

Continental specifically set a prohibitive price for the factory. Most likely, she must recoup the losses associated with leaving Russia. They win anyway. And before the EU and the US there is an excuse. They say they are selling the plant, but no one wants to buy it. And evil Russia threatens to take it away if they don't work. So they have to function through force. And they are making money on their own. Well done, everyone should work like this.
