11 July , 2025  

Italian food packaging manufacturer GUALA PACK S.P.A is investing EUR12 million in the construction of a complex of industrial buildings with a total area of approximately 10,000 square meters in the Belaya Tserkov industrial park, according to Dmitry Kiselevsky, deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development.

“The Bila Tserkva industrial park has just signed an agreement in Rome with Gualapack Ukraine, a subsidiary of the Italian company GUALA PACK S.P.A., for the construction of a complex of industrial buildings with a total area of about 10,000 square meters. The factory, which until recently operated in Sumy and was partially restarted on leased premises in the Ternopil region, will be relocated to the new premises,” he wrote on his Facebook page on Friday.

The plant manufactures packaging for the food industry. The company employs about 300 people with an average salary of 30,000 hryvnia.

According to Kysilevsky, the construction and connection of utilities will take about 12 months. All buildings will be built from scratch, taking into account the company’s infrastructure needs.

According to him, IP “Bila Tserkva” currently has 19 residents.

As reported, in April 2025, the Finnish company Peikko Group Corporation announced the commissioning of a plant for the production of concrete connections and composite structures at IP “Bila Tserkva.”

Other residents include Unilever, InTiCa Systems, Peikko, and Pripravka, which relocated from Kharkiv, as well as the Nova Poshta logistics depot, the Volytsia-Agro grain storage complex, the Plank Electrotechnic electrical fittings factory, and Virastar, a manufacturer of high-altitude equipment for construction work.

Belaya Tserkov and Belaya Tserkov 2 were included in the Register of Industrial Parks in 2018.

Gualapack Ukraine LLC has been operating in Ukraine since 2013 and is a leading manufacturer of flexible packaging for various types of production.

According to the company’s financial report on its website, in 2024, consolidated net profit decreased more than 10 times compared to the previous year, to UAH 13.05 million, with revenue growing by 3.6% to UAH 1 billion 145 million.

In May 2023, the company acquired 100% of Gualapack Poland (Poland) (until October 2023 – ALIKO-TRADING ЅроІка z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) with the aim of further expanding its trading activities in the Polish market.
