The company said on Thursday that the three packaging converting operations comprise a corrugated solutions plant and two consumer flexibles plants, producing a range of packaging solutions for the domestic Russian market.
The loss on the disposal is expected to be in the range of €70-80m at current exchange rates.
The sale is conditional on the approval of the Russian Federation’s Government Sub-Commission for the Control of Foreign Investments and customary antitrust approvals and is expected to complete in the first half of next year.
Mondi had announced on 4 May that it was planning to divest its Russian assets.
