KYIV. April 6 (Interfax-Ukraine) – State-run enterprise Artyomsol seeks to increase supplies of its products to the EU countries by 15% in 2016, to 425,300 tonnes and open logistics centers in Ukraine and the EU.
“We plan to open logistic centers in Ukraine and the EU. This would help to resolve the problem of delivering cargos from producers to consumers in the shortest terms. It would bring our products closer to end consumers, increase the company’s profit thanks to avoiding intermediaries,” the enterprise said on its website.
A pilot project could be realized in Kyiv in the near term. Artyomsol specialists in March 2016 visited warehouses and industrial premises for placing a logistics center to handle, store and distribute salt on the territories adjacent to the ports of the Danube River in Galati (Romania) and Ruse (Bulgaria).
A representative office in the EU allows the company to take part in European salt procurement tenders.
Artyomsol shipped 367,800 tonnes of salt to the EU in 2015.
Artyomsol is the largest enterprise engaged in the production and sale of salt (NaCl) in Central and Eastern Europe.
