European companies ranging from Nestle SA to Carlsberg AS suspended operations in Ukraine after Russia invaded, while manufacturers are seeking to ensure the supply of raw materials and Swiss watchmakers face the possibility of lost sales.
Denmark’s Carlsberg, with 1,300 workers in Ukraine, stopped operations at two of its three breweries there, while taking steps to “ensure the safety and wellbeing” of employees, the company said. Turkish brewer Anadolu Efes, which operates a joint venture with Anheuser-Busch InBev in Ukraine with 3,000 staff, also halted sales and production, it said.
