President Vladimir Putin has placed Russian assets connected to French flooring maker Tarkett and four other companies under temporary management, naming Tsentr Kapital as manager. The decree covers flooring, packaging and personal hygiene businesses; its terms and practical effects on operations remain unclear.
President Vladimir Putin has placed Russian assets linked to French flooring manufacturer Tarkett and four other companies under temporary management, according to Meduza’s October 16 report. The decree names Tsentr Kapital as manager and covers businesses in flooring, packaging and personal hygiene products.
The companies named alongside Tarkett are Kappa Rus, Mensen Packaging CIS, Eviosis Packaging Kuban and Ontex Ru. The measures apply to shares and stakes in the companies’ charter capital, Meduza reported. The report does not specify the size of each stake or provide the full text of the decree.
Tarkett is a major flooring producer with two plants in Russia, located in the Moscow and Samara regions, according to the report. The temporary management arrangement concerns its Russian assets; the available information does not say that the company’s operations outside Russia are affected.
The other named companies are involved in container and packaging production, while Ontex Ru makes personal hygiene products. Meduza reported that Tsentr Kapital was appointed to manage the assets, but did not give details about the manager’s ownership, mandate or planned operating arrangements.
Control of Russian Business Assets
The decree changes who is responsible for managing the affected Russian company interests, including facilities and stakes tied to businesses that make flooring, packaging and hygiene goods. Such arrangements can affect corporate control and decision-making inside Russia, although the report does not establish what specific operational changes will follow in these cases.
For the companies and their customers, the immediate question is whether the management change alters production, supply contracts, employment or access to revenue. No such effects are described in the available report. The measure is also relevant to foreign firms with Russian operations because it adds to a series of recent decisions placing assets under temporary management.

Recent Temporary Management Orders
The latest measure follows other Russian temporary-management decisions reported by Meduza. In September, Putin placed Russian assets associated with retailers Globus, Metro Cash & Carry, Auchan and Leroy Merlin under temporary management. Meduza also reported that temporary management was introduced at Nestlé Russia.
Those earlier decisions provide a recent precedent for the October order, but the report does not detail whether the companies’ circumstances or the legal terms are the same. The current measure specifically names five companies and appoints Tsentr Kapital; no broader rationale for the order is given in the source material.

Decree Terms and Business Effects
The report does not provide the decree’s full wording, its duration or the precise assets and shareholdings covered for each company. It is also unclear what authority Tsentr Kapital will exercise, whether the companies retain any role in management, and whether the measure changes ownership or only assigns operational control. The source describes the arrangement as temporary management, not a transfer of ownership.
No statements from Tarkett, the other companies, Tsentr Kapital or Russian officials explaining the decision are included in the report. Production levels, staffing, customer supply and financial arrangements after the appointment have not been reported. Those details should not be inferred from the management order alone.

Details Needed on Implementation
The next concrete information to watch for is the decree’s full text and any official explanation of the manager’s powers, the assets covered and the expected duration of the arrangement. Statements from Tsentr Kapital or the affected companies could clarify how day-to-day operations and commercial commitments will be handled.
Further reporting may also establish whether the measure leads to changes at Tarkett’s plants in the Moscow and Samara regions or at the packaging and hygiene businesses. For now, the confirmed development is the appointment of Tsentr Kapital to temporary management of the named Russian assets; the operational consequences have not been specified.
