The Russian representative office of Panasonic has changed its CEO

The change in the head of Panasonic Rus became known a few months after Panasonic decided to stop the supply of its equipment to the Russian Federation. In early March 2022, the corporation named the economic and logistics situation as the reason for the supply stop. Then it was stated that the sale of equipment already located in the Russian Federation would continue, but Panasonic did not undertake to predict when deliveries from abroad of new equipment could be resumed.

Subsequently, Panasonic was listed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade for parallel imports. Most likely, the new brand representative will not be able to do without the participation of third countries and counterparties, believes Denis Kuskov, general director of the analytical agency TelecomDaily.
