Pirelli and Rosneft signed a deal Thursday under which the Italian company will market and sell its tires at Rosneft's gas stations, Interfax reported, citing Rosneft.
The agreement was signed by Rosneft President Igor Sechin and Pirelli CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera.
The companies will set up a working group to discuss joint marketing programs to promote their products and logistics.
One of the areas where the companies will cooperate is the Krasnodar region, where the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held, Rosneft said. (MT)
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
