LIQUI MOLY and Ernst Prost appeal for help for Ukraine

2 March 2022  

LIQUI MOLY and outgoing Managing Director Ernst Prost are organising aid deliveries to Ukraine with the help of business partners around the world, and are calling for donations.

“We can write off our business in Russia,” said Ernst Prost, who, in view of the war, expects to lose around €40 million in sales in the current fiscal year and to lose several million euros in payments for outstanding orders, “but that is not the point. There is a war in our neighbourhood that no one thought possible. Our free world is under attack. Now, we have to stand together and be supportive of all the measures taken by our international allies. We have business partners, customers and friends in Russia and Ukraine. None of them wants war. This unspeakable human suffering is unbearable and we want to help where we can.”

He continued: “We are organizing the delivery of aid supplies to Ukraine. We will use donations to buy surgical dressings, medicines, medical equipment, food and much more that is currently needed.”

The aid supplies are being procured by the Ernst Prost Foundation People for Peace, Peace for People and Ernst Prost’s life partner and foundation manager Kerstin Thiele, who is working around the clock on the project.

He added: “”Our long-standing business partners from Poland, Ukraine and Russia are assisting with transport. We are taking the aid supplies to where they are needed. Right to the heart of the war zone I hope that the nightmare will end quickly and peacefully.”
