Nord Stream AG

Nord Stream AG served as the corporate backbone for one of Europe's most ambitious and controversial energy projects. Incorporated in Zug, Switzerland, on November 30, 2005, this consortium managed the construction and operation of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. The massive infrastructure stretched beneath the Baltic Sea, connecting Vyborg in Russia directly to Greifswald in Germany. Its primary mission was simple yet vital: deliver natural gas straight to European markets.[edit]
