Kovalska Group is completing the construction of the first phase of a modern autoclaved aerated concrete plant in Rozvadiv village (Lviv region) and has completed the installation of equipment and is preparing for commissioning, the company’s press service reports.
“Investments in the construction of two stages will amount to more than EUR 100 million. This is the largest project in the company’s history. We are building the plant in accordance with European standards, with increased requirements for quality, environmental friendliness, and efficiency. The products will be sold both in Ukraine and abroad,” the group’s CEO Sergiy Pylypenko was quoted as saying in the release.
The first stage’s capacity will allow it to produce almost 600 thousand square meters of aerated concrete products annually, including blocks, panels, U-blocks and reinforced elements. After the second stage is commissioned, the capacity will increase to 1.2 million square meters per year, making Kovalska Aerated Concrete one of the largest producers of autoclaved aerated concrete in Ukraine.
The enterprise is being built on an industrial site of over 140 hectares located 40 km from Lviv, where lime and sand quarries and industrial assets for their processing are already operating.
A Siltek dry mix plant is planned to be built within the same area, which, together with the aerated concrete plant and quarries, will form Kovalska’s western industrial hub, located in close proximity to partners and customers, as well as to the European border.
During construction, special attention was paid to infrastructure.
In addition to the production lines, an administrative and amenity complex, repair shops, warehouses, a hotel, a space with a shop, a food court, a sports ground and a parking area are being built on the site. The architectural design of the complex will reflect Kovalska’s approach to construction: quality, functionality, recognizable style and aesthetics. The non-industrial part of the infrastructure will be open to residents of Rozvadov and guests of the enterprise.
According to the Group’s earnings reports, in 2024, the Group earned UAH 32 million 870 thousand in net profit, which is 24.4% lower than in 2023.
Kovalska Industrial and Construction Group LLC was founded in 2007. The ultimate beneficiaries are Oleksandr and Serhiy Pylypenko (33% each), Volodymyr Surup (17.3%) and Mykola Subotenko (16.7%).
The authorized capital of the group is UAH 62 million 289 thousand 815.
