The glass packaging manufacturer had already started to shut down production at its Ukrainian plant - the PrJSC Vetropack Gostomel near Kiev<\/strong> - shutdown in an organised manner. All employees are temporarily released from work with full pay.<\/p>

\u201eWe are glad that we decided to suspend our production in good time. This enabled us to prevent this incident from causing casualties among our colleagues.\u201c<\/p>

Johann Reiter,<\/strong> CEO of Vetropack Holding AG<\/p><\/blockquote>

The exact extent of the damage to the plant in Gostomel is not known. \u201eThe situation on site is difficult and also dangerous due to possible further military action,\u201c says Johann Reiter. \u201eIt may therefore be a long time before we have a clearer picture of the situation at the site. What is already certain is that parts of production have been severely damaged. One Timely resumption of production is no longer possible<\/strong>.\"<\/p>
