CANPACK称其俄罗斯业务已被普京签署的2025年12月政令置于国家外部托管之下

一家与宾夕法尼亚州有关联的制造商根据克里姆林宫的命令丧失了其俄罗斯业务的控制权，这给西方企业带来了新的风险，与此同时莫斯科正寻求与美国重建经济联系。
CANPACK是一家总部位于宾夕法尼亚州的控股公司旗下的全球铝制饮料罐制造商，在欧洲和北美多个国家开展业务。该公司表示，其估值约7亿美元的俄罗斯业务已被弗拉基米尔·普京总统于2025年12月31日签署的政令置于国家“外部托管”之下，实际上将其100%股份的控制权移交给了国家任命的管理人员。
首席执行官彼得·乔治表示，自管理人员1月中旬上任后，公司已丧失所有运营权限。
“我只是名义上的股东，”乔治在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时说道，“我完全失去了对公司的控制权。”

这起事件凸显了在俄乌战争期间仍留在俄罗斯的西方企业所面临的风险，尽管莫斯科方面暗示有意在潜在的和平谈判框架内与美国重建经济联系。
据路透社报道，普京的外国投资特使基里尔·德米特里耶夫正在美国与唐纳德·特朗普总统政府的官员会面，讨论潜在的乌克兰和平协议以及未来的经济合作。
分析人士称，此举是俄罗斯自俄乌战争以来处理外国资产的更广泛转变的一部分。
“我们不要只从美国的角度来看待这个问题，”欧洲政策分析中心研究员亚历山大·科利亚安德说道，“CANPACK并非个例。”

据该公司称，CANPACK已在俄罗斯运营近30年，占据该国铝制饮料罐市场约35%至40%的份额，凸显了此次接管的规模。
据一位知情人士透露，自接管行动以来，该公司无法直接接触或与其俄罗斯业务进行沟通，包括总经理和首席财务官在内的多名高管在接管后被免职。
公司官员表示，俄罗斯的高管们面临着国家任命的管理人员的压力，包括要求他们批准财务决策，否则将面临解雇或其他后果。
据官员们透露，近几个月来情况没有任何变化。该公司的俄罗斯业务仍处于外部托管之下，截至4月，控制权和所有权均未恢复。
此次接管依据的是2023年推出的一项法律框架，允许俄罗斯政府将某些外国资产置于临时国家管控之下。
该政令指定一家名为Stalelement的实体负责监管这些资产，公司代表称该实体是与俄罗斯政府有关联的空壳公司。
该公司已向美国官员提出了这一问题，但尚未采取任何正式行动。

俄罗斯商业日报《Vedomosti》2月报道称，CANPACK的俄罗斯分公司向一个支持俄罗斯在乌克兰军事行动的亲克里姆林宫基金捐赠了约5亿卢布。
根据俄罗斯媒体报道和前高管传递的信息，该公司认为约1800万美元被用于支持俄罗斯业务的国家相关基金，另有约600万美元被捐给了俄罗斯东正教会。福克斯新闻尚未独立核实这些说法。
这些预估的转账仅占公司总价值的一小部分，但凸显了在外部托管制度下财务控制权转移的速度之快。
自2022年莫斯科全面入侵乌克兰以来，该公司继续在俄罗斯运营，尽管许多西方公司已退出该市场。
乔治表示，公司曾考虑撤离，但面临着数十年投资难以剥离的难题，且无法找到价格合理的买家。
“我们决定坚持下去，”他说道，并补充说公司希望局势最终能够稳定下来。
同样是2025年12月的那道政令，还将丹麦绝缘材料制造商洛科威的俄罗斯子公司列为了 targets。近年来包括法国达能和啤酒商嘉士伯在内的其他西方公司也面临过俄罗斯当局的类似行动。
“我们说的是数十家公司，”科利亚安德说道。
科利亚安德表示，在某些情况下，与欧洲同行相比，与美国有关联的公司受到的对待更为谨慎。
“美国公司的处境比欧洲公司好得多，”他说道，并指出莫斯科有意保留与华盛顿改善关系的可能性。
他表示，这一趋势在2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰后加速，当时西方公司开始暂停运营或退出俄罗斯市场。
“一切都是从战争开始才真正启动的，”他说道，并补充说当局接管资产变得更加容易。
)
科利亚安德表示，这项政策反映了更广泛的财产再分配，旨在将盈利或战略性资产置于更紧密的国家影响之下。
“这向整个体系发出了一个信号：如果你不遵守规则，你的财产可能会被没收，”他说道。
他补充说，尽管这一过程可能会为国家带来一些收入，但为战争提供资金不太可能是其主要动机。
“一方面，它有助于为预算增加一点现金，”他说道，“但我不认为这是主要原因。”
俄罗斯驻华盛顿大使馆和俄罗斯外交部未回应置评请求。

Russia seizes control of US-linked firm as it pushes for renewed ties with Washington
April 11, 2026 9:00am EDT / Fox News
CANPACK says its Russian business was placed under state external administration by a December 2025 decree signed by Putin
By Morgan Phillips Fox News
A Pennsylvania-linked manufacturer has been stripped of control over its Russian operations under a Kremlin order, raising fresh risks for Western companies as Moscow courts renewed economic ties with the United States.
CANPACK, a global aluminum beverage can manufacturer owned by a Pennsylvania-based holding company, operates in multiple countries across Europe and North America and said its Russian business — valued at roughly $700 million — was placed under state “external administration” by a Dec. 31, 2025, decree signed by President Vladimir Putin, effectively transferring control of 100% of its shares to state-appointed managers.
CEO Peter Giorgi said the company lost all operational authority after administrators arrived in mid-January.
“I’m only a nominal shareholder,” Giorgi said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “I lose all control of the company.”

The case underscores the risks facing Western companies that remained in Russia during the war, even as Moscow signals interest in rebuilding economic ties with Washington as part of potential peace negotiations.
Putin’s envoy for foreign investment, Kirill Dmitriev, is in the United States meeting with officials in President Donald Trump’s administration to discuss a potential Ukraine peace deal and future economic cooperation, according to Reuters.
Analysts say the move is part of a broader shift in Russia’s handling of foreign-owned assets since the Ukraine War.
“Let’s not be U.S.-centric about that,” said Alexander Kolyandr, a fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis. “CANPACK is not alone.”

CANPACK has operated in Russia for nearly 30 years and held an estimated 35%–40% share of the country’s aluminum beverage can market, according to the company, underscoring the scale of the takeover.
The company has had no direct access to or communication with its Russian operations since the move, according to a person familiar with the matter, and several senior executives — including the general manager and chief financial officer — were removed following the takeover.
Company officials say executives in Russia have faced pressure from state-appointed administrators, including demands to approve financial decisions under threat of dismissal or other consequences.
The situation has not changed in recent months, according to the officials. The company’s Russian operations remain under external administration, with no restoration of control or ownership as of April.
The move falls under a legal framework introduced in 2023 allowing the Russian government to place certain foreign-owned assets under temporary state control.
The decree identified a company called Stalelement as the entity overseeing the assets, which company representatives describe as a shell entity with ties to the Russian government.
The company has raised the issue with U.S. officials, but no formal action has been taken.

Russian business daily Vedomosti reported in February that CANPACK’s Russian division donated approximately 500 million rubles to a pro-Kremlin fund supporting Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.
The company believes roughly $18 million was directed to state-linked funds supporting Russian operations, with an additional approximately $6 million sent to a Russian Orthodox church, based on Russian media reports and information relayed by former executives. Fox News has not independently verified those claims.
The estimated transfers represent a small portion of the company’s overall value, but underscore how quickly financial control can shift under external administration.
The company continued operating in Russia after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, even as many Western firms exited the market.
Giorgi said the company considered leaving but faced challenges unwinding decades of investment and could not find a buyer at a fair price.
“We decided to stay the course,” he said, adding that the company hoped conditions would eventually stabilize.
The same December 2025 decree also targeted the Russian subsidiary of Danish insulation manufacturer Rockwool. Other Western companies, including France’s Danone and brewer Carlsberg, have faced similar actions by Russian authorities in recent years.
“We are talking about dozens of companies,” Kolyandr said.
Kolyandr said U.S.-linked companies have in some cases been treated more cautiously than their European counterparts.
“American companies fared much better than the European ones,” he said, pointing to Moscow’s interest in preserving the possibility of improved ties with Washington.
He said the trend accelerated after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, when Western companies began suspending operations or exiting the market.
“It all started in earnest with the beginning of the war,” he said, adding that it became easier for authorities to take control of assets.

Kolyandr said the policy reflects a wider redistribution of property aimed at bringing profitable or strategic assets under closer state influence.
“It sends a signal across the system that if you do not toe the line, your property may be taken away,” he said.
He added that while the process may generate some revenue for the state, funding the war is unlikely to be the primary driver.

“On the one hand, it helps to generate a bit of cash for the budget,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s the main reason.”
The Russian Embassy in Washington and the Russian foreign ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
