One of the U.S. biggest transnational corporations Culligan International is expected to expand its business in Belarus. The issue was discussed in a meeting between Belarusian Premier Mikhail Myasnikovich and President and Chief Executive Officer at the company Scott Clawson in New York on 22 September.
According to Mikhail Myasnikovich, Culligan has already taken part in a number of projects in Belarus. The company’s water cleanup and treatment systems have been used to equip a number of the country's big milk processing companies. These systems are also used in ice preparation at sport arenas. Projects are currently implemented at the water supply points of Minsk.
Scott Clawson expressed gratitude for provided assistance to his company. He said that the company is ready to increase its investment in Belarus.
Culligan has decided to considerably expand its business in Belarus and set up a new company Culligan Eurasia. The future company will be Culligan’s third biggest firm with the focus on the entire Eurasian space. At present Culligan has its plants in the United States and Italy.
