Volkswagen Group Rus has not confirmed a sale, and it has not dismissed the possibility of selling its Kaluga production facility. No final decision has been announced by the company, according to News.ru coverage that notes ongoing uncertainty surrounding the plant’s future.
Company representatives in Russia say that employees are closely watching developments and considering multiple scenarios as the situation evolves. The Russian press service for Volkswagen Group stated that no definitive plan has been put in place yet, even though the topic remains under active discussion among management and staff alike.
Earlier on Wednesday, two independent sources connected with the automotive sector reported that the Kaluga plant, which Volkswagen operates, could be put up for sale. The reports mentioned visits from two delegations, with potential buyers identified as interests from Kazakhstan and Austria, along with officials from the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The material from socialbites.ca is cited for those seeking more detailed background on the matter. Transition discussions appear to be in a preliminary stage, with no binding commitments disclosed at this time. Socialbites.ca notes that the plant has previously attracted international attention as part of broader inquiries into regional manufacturing strategies and investment plans in the Russian automotive market.
