  1. The Rothschild of the machine tool industry making blood money from both sides of the conflict. The gall to fly the Ukrainian flag is disturbing at least. They know exactly what’s going on, that Nazi owner is no idiot.

  2. Agreed, the owner is a Nazi, just can’t believe that they’re shipping machinery from the US. Insane!

  3. Why isn’t the Department of Commerce coming down on these guys like a ton of bricks?

    >During Soviet times Chemnitz was known as Karl-Marx-Stadt, and the Soviet Union was the largest purchaser of the machinery goods produced there.

    >German manufacturers continued to benefit from this trade connection until the imposition of anti-Russian sanctions in 2014, which were followed by Russia’s counter-sanctions and policy of import substitution, also partly stimulated by last year’s fall in the ruble’s value.

    >The Niles-Simmons-Hegenscheidt Group, whose factory in Chemnitz makes lathes, milling machines and other special purpose tools for the transport and manufacturing industries, is determined to recoup its market share after the cancellation of two large contracts with Russian partners.

    >The group’s managing director Hans Naumann is a fierce critic of anti-Russian sanctions; in 2014 he described the policy as “shooting ourselves in the foot.”

    >”Until now we did good business in Russia, now all that turns to nothing,” Naumann said.

    >Naumann’s concern led his company to establish a sales and service subsidiary in Moscow earlier this year, and has now made an agreement with the authorities in Tatarstan to partner with a Russian company that will produce the German company’s machinery tools in a factory in the regional capital, Kazan.

    no surprises, except maybe the inaction/inability of governments to adjust sanctions to dissuade or deter this type of circumvention, as they apparently weren’t shy about telling the world this was their plan.

  5. You kinda need to watch the video. The text here is only part of the story.

  6. Maybe someone should hang around and have a cigarette somewhere??
    Make a little cotton?

  7. And the irony is that NSH is flying the Ukrainian flag outside it’s factory. You can see it at 9:50.
