Haas Automation
Based in Oxnard, California, around 100 km. north of Los Angeles, Haas Automation is one of the United States’ largest and best-known manufacturers of CNC (“computer numerical control”) machine tools. Last Friday PBS “Newshour” included a segment alleging that spare parts for machine tools manufactured by Haas have continued to be sent to Russia after March 3, 2022, when Haas announced that it was no longer exporting its products to Russia via its long-time Russian distributor, Abamet Management Co.
According to the “Newshour,” Haas has been exporting to Russia for several years, and since 2014 in apparent violation of United States sectorial sanctions against the Russian defense industry, including several Russian customers of Haas. NPZ, a Russian defense contractor based in Novosibirsk, has several Haas machines. NPZ, a subsidiary of Rostec a Russian State-owned defense conglomerate, produces optical equipment for the Russian military. Rostec is under U.S. sanctions.
According to shipping records in the possession of Ukraine, Haas has been exporting to Russia through a Chinese intermediary, a firm established shortly after Haas announced that it was no longer exporting its products to Russia through Abamet. Haas claimed to the “Newshour” that they’ve never heard of the Chinese company.
Other questions and takeaways:
· Who was responsible for setting up the Chinese intermediary, Abamet or Haas? Any credit manager would have asked for extensive financial information on the Chinese intermediary, as a condition for Haas shipping equipment to them, unless the Chinese intermediary was a front for Abamet, allowing Haas to continue to sell to Russian buyers through normal distribution channels. In that case, Haas may have known of the relationship between Abamet and the Chinese intermediary.
· How did Haas get paid? If Haas wasn’t doing business with Abamet, as it claimed, then how did Haas get paid for the parts that it allegedly shipped via the Chinese intermediary that it claimed not to be aware of its existence? I believe that the financial intermediaries facilitating payments by Russian companies under sanction to Haas are also subject to U.S. sanctions.
· Fischer Spindle Group/Switzerland – The Newshour claims that Fischer Spindle Group (“Fischer”) sold electric motors for CNC machines produced by Haas. If true, it suggests that Fischer is an authorized OEM supplier of parts for Haas machines. Unless Fischer has such an authorization from Haas, allowing Fischer’s motor to be installed into a Haas machine, such an installation would likely break Haas’ warranty.
During the 40 years after the end of WW-II Southern California, especially the cities along the coast sought of Los Angeles International Airport, like El Segundo, Hawthorne, and Torrance, became the centers of the American aerospace industry, including companies like TRW, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, and others. Suppliers like Haas grew up alongside them. For years, the Soviets maintained a “trawler” just offshore.
Ukraine is correct to wonder why the Treasury and Commerce Departments are not investigating Haas and, if in fact there is a violation of sanctions, taking steps to enforce sanctions.
After all, equipment produced by Haas CNC machines are killing Ukrainians.
News From the Battlefield
“Reporting From Ukraine” has been temporarily sidelined due to illness. We wish him well. However, the “Latest Denys” includes some interesting information in is latest report:
· He starts by reporting that Ukraine has penetrated Russia’s first defense line, near Robotyne, and they are approaching the 2nd defense line. Other reports state that the 2nd defense line includes concrete bunkers, potentially presenting a greater challenge for Ukraine. Denys appears to be claiming that Ukraine’s western partners are pushing Ukraine to take un-necessary risks with potentially very damaging results.
· 2:25 – Ukraine is now fighting inside the town of Klyshchiivka, south of Bakhmut.
· 4:30 – Ukraine has landed more troops on the Left Bank of the Dnipro River, opposite Kherson City. If they’re able to push the Russians back some distances, putting Kherson City out of artillery range, they can build pontoon bridges and begin to move heavy equipment, including tanks, across the river. The territory in the western part of Kherson Oblast is not as well defended as most of the rest of southern Ukraine.
· 6:15 – Another possibility for advancement is the dried reservoir resulting from the destruction of the Nova Khakovka Dam, and closer to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant.
· 6:25 – The attack on the tanker. Denys has the actual video. Apparently, the strike flooded the engine room. There is still no news about whether the tanker is still afloat. The tanker was being used to move petroleum products from Russia to Crimea.
· 13:00 – Ukraine has issued a warning to commercial ships transiting the Black Sea, on the way to/from Russian ports, and Ukrainian ports under temporary Russian control. Personally, I don’t think that Ukraine will attack a commercial ship belonging to a 3rd country, but the decision to enter to go to/from Russian ports along the Black See is up to the shipowner, and the shipowner’s insurance carrier.
