An investigation by Financial Times found that producers of Oreshnik missile used by Russia against Ukraine in November 2024 still rely on equipment made by Heidenhain, Siemens and Fanuc. Oreshnik is Russia's new intermediate-range ballistic missile that was developed based on the RS-26 Rubezh, a nuclear-capable ballistic missile.
The authors of the analysis invited the companies to respond. Siemens and Fanuc responded, while Heidenhain did not.
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Heidenhain to respond, but the company did not.
