Our Activities in Russia and Other CIS Nations

Yokogawa has had a foothold in the Russian market since 1993, when it opened a representative office in Moscow. In 1997, our subsidiary was founded there to launch this business on a full scale. We have been aggressively expanding our business not only in Russia but also in other CIS nations, and have reinforced our customer services by setting up sales offices and establishing technical centers.
