Russian unit of Siemens files suit vs subsidiaries of Rostec

MOSCOW, Sep 13 (PRIME) -- Siemens Gas Turbine Technologies, a Russian unit of Germany’s Siemens, has filed a suit against Technopromexport LLC and Technopromexport PJSC, affiliates of state industrial corporation Rostec, to the Moscow Arbitration Court, as seen by PRIME on Wednesday in a register of arbitration cases.

The matter of the suit was not disclosed.

Siemens said in July that all the four turbines meant to be used on a Russian power plant on the Taman Peninsula were illegally shipped to Crimea, forcing the company to cancel its licensing agreements to sell power equipment to Russian firms and suspend the current agreements with state-run companies.

Later the company filed a suit against Rostec’s affiliates over alleged deliveries of its turbines to Crimea and demanded that the turbines be arrested. The Moscow Arbitration Court scheduled a preliminary hearing of the suit for September 18.
