Reckitt Benckiser has agreed to sell its Russian hygiene business to local consumer goods manufacturer Arnest Management, marking a further step in its planned exit from Russia. The transaction includes a production facility in Moscow, locally owned brand intellectual property and the transfer of around 400 employees, while Reckitt will retain its global brand intellectual property and its Russian health business.
