Read MoreHide Full Article
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT - Free Report) recently decided to suspend operations in its manufacturing facilities in Russia. The company stated that operations in Russia have become increasingly challenging, including supply chain disruptions and sanctions.
The company announced that through its philanthropic organization, Caterpillar Foundation, it is donating more than $1 million to support both urgent and long-term needs of the Ukraine humanitarian crisis. The donations will help aid relief efforts in Ukraine and surrounding countries with water, food, clothing, hygiene sets, blankets, fuel for heating, medical supplies and housing support.
Caterpillar has been operating a fully-owned manufacturing facility in Tosno, near St. Petersburg, since March 2000. The Tosno plant manufactures two models of off-highway mining trucks, two models of excavators and components for machines and equipment, which are exported to factories in Europe. CAT has a parts distribution facility in Moscow. Russia accounts for approximately 8% of Caterpillar's annual revenues.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (ROK - Free Report) , a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, recently announced that the company is suspending operations and sales in Russia and Belarus. Sales to Russia and Belarus account for less than 0.5% of Rockwell’s total revenues.

Rockwell will match employee donations made to Project HOPE and is offering paid time off to support local volunteer efforts.
Johnson Controls International (JCI - Free Report) , which engages in engineering, manufacturing, commissioning, and retrofitting building products and systems, is suspending business in Russia.
