On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. AUMA management, shareholders and advisory board condemn this war. The suffering that this war has caused to the people of Ukraine is unimaginable. Millions of people have fled Ukraine, having suddenly lost their homes, their everyday life.

We support the refugees from Ukraine who have sought shelter in Germany via local aid organisations and municipal facilities.

As early as spring 2022, we started to review all our national and international business activities related to Russia and Belarus. Certainly, all sanctions are followed. We have severely restricted the ongoing business of our Russian subsidiary, well beyond the respective applicable sanctions. We no longer supply any products for the oil and gas industry. Furthermore, we have completely discontinued the components and spare parts business. Deliveries are still being supplied to the civil infrastructure in the water and energy segments, but these activities are also being critically questioned. We monitor the situation closely in order to react appropriately.

This war must end immediately. Our thoughts are with the people affected, the victims and their families.
