🇨🇠Cerdia, a global manufacturer of cellulose acetate headquartered in Basel (Switzerland), continues operating in Russia despite the full-scale war.
From 2022 through March 2025, Russian companies received $7.3M worth of its products.
Documents indicate that in 2023–2025 these entities used imported cellulose acetate in the production of rockets, aerial bombs, and air defense systems.

📍 At the same time, a significant portion of goods reaches Russia not as Korean-made products, but as foreign technologies passing through Korean supply chains. Brands appearing in this segment include AIC, NSK, WAGO, FAG, among others.
