A turnkey seed processing line for legumes and grain crops with a capacity of 6 tons per hour has been installed at one of the agricultural enterprises in Latvia, according to a press release from the Ukrainian manufacturer OLIS LLC.
“OLIS equipment is well known in the Baltic market: in particular, several comprehensive projects have already been implemented in Latvia with our participation. The launch of this seed processing line is further confirmation that OLIS’s technological solutions meet the high quality standards in effect in the EU market,” commented Vladimir Cheglatonev, the company’s acting CEO, on the launch.
The project involved a full cycle of work: engineering, equipment supply, installation, automation, staff training, and a test run. The line includes equipment manufactured by OLIS, specifically PSO-100 grain cleaning separators with a KAO-1.0 aspiration column, an OMP-6 stone remover, trier blocks, and SPS-3.5 pneumatic sorting tables.
The technological solution was designed for cleaning and preparing wheat, pea, and bean seeds. The quality of seed preparation on the new line has already been confirmed by the relevant regulatory authority in Latvia.
The company emphasized that implementing the project on a turnkey basis allowed the customer to receive a comprehensive solution with coordinated components and to shorten the time required to commission the facility.
As reported, “Olis” resumed operations at its plant in the Odesa region in March 2022.
Olis LLC (Odesa) was founded in April 2005. The company manufactures approximately 200 types of equipment for the grain processing industry. The enterprise is capable of producing grain cleaning complexes, mills, and cereal processing plants from the technology development stage through to commissioning. Additional areas of activity include the installation, repair, and maintenance of industrial machinery, as well as the wholesale trade of equipment. The company’s products are exported to more than 25 countries worldwide.

The Kametstal plant, part of Metinvest’s mining and metallurgical group and established at the Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant (Kamenskoye, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), has mastered the technology for refurbishing cast iron ladles for metallurgical enterprises.
According to a press release, Kametstal’s metallurgical equipment repair shop has mastered a new area of expertise: the repair of pig iron ladles. This decision is aimed at supporting the smooth operation of the blast furnace shop and will help effectively restore critical equipment in-house.
It is noted that this year’s launch of new services at the Central Repair and Maintenance Unit began with mastering the repair of cast iron ladles. This is a strategic move: the stable operation of the blast furnace shop directly depends on the number of ladles “in service.” Since the need to repair such equipment has grown, while personnel resources remain limited, the repair team has taken proactive measures. The team’s initiative, supported by the plant’s management, will address the shortage of operational equipment and ensure the stability and productivity of pig iron production.
According to the repair technology, restoration work is carried out based on the results of defect detection, which is conducted jointly with specialists from the blast furnace shop. This allows for the precise identification of weak spots and the scope of necessary repairs.
The main repair operations include sealing cracks on the vertical walls of the ladles, as well as eliminating through-wall damage in the bottom section. Such burn-throughs occur due to the aggressive action of molten iron in areas where the refractory lining is most worn. Repair crews cut out the damaged sections and replace them with new steel “patches.” Special attention is paid to the upper part of the ladle—the neck—where worn-out metal structures are replaced. The entire process involves a full cycle of technical work: dismantling damaged elements, manufacturing replacement parts, and their subsequent installation.
Dmytro Lubenets, head of the metallurgical equipment repair shop, explained that they approach the repair of each pig iron ladle individually: from defect detection and drawing development to in-house manufacturing of parts.
“The first restored unit has already returned to the blast furnace shop; we are currently restoring the second one. Since the results of the pilot repair are quite satisfactory, we decided, together with the blast furnace operators, to systematize this process: ladles that go out of service will be sent directly to the Central Repair and Maintenance Unit. This will allow us to quickly return them to service after repair and, thus, maintain the stability of the production process. In these difficult wartime conditions, such cooperation is crucial—it is our way of overcoming staff shortages and maintaining production momentum,” said the shop foreman.
It should be noted that CMU specialists have mastered the technology for repairing slag ladles with significant wear and defects. Previously, such ladles were written off for disposal and replaced with expensive new ones. In 2025, 15 ladles were repaired and returned to the blast furnace shop for further operation.
“Kametstal” was established on the basis of PJSC “Dniprovsky Coke Chemical Plant” (DKHP) and PJSC “Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant” (DMP).
PJSC Slavgorod Reinforcing Bar Plant (SAZ, Dnipropetrovsk region) reported a net profit of UAH 1.132 million for 2025, compared to UAH 7.497 million in 2024.

Construction has begun on a plant for processing basalt and manufacturing finished basalt products by BF “Zavod” within the “BF Terminal” industrial park in Zakarpattia.
“As part of the ”BF Terminal” industrial park, a plant with an area of over 37,000 square meters will be built, equipped with modern machinery and utilizing innovative technologies, which will provide over 120 guaranteed jobs with high salaries. This investment of over 30 million euros will ensure a stable annual inflow of up to 10 million hryvnias into the local budget and strengthen the community’s capacity for sustainable development. At the same time, the state will receive a strategic product for domestic use and export,” Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Viktor Mykyta reported on Telegram.
According to Vitaliy Kindrativ, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine, the development of “BF Terminal” in Zakarpattia is an example of how the development of industrial parks is shaping a new economic reality, in which state incentives help launch modern production facilities. “Thanks to government incentives, the Berehove district is gradually transforming into a powerful industrial hub working toward the recovery of Ukraine’s economy,” he emphasized.
He noted that government funds are being directed toward key infrastructure, primarily the construction of a new railway access track at the Batyevo station. “This is essentially a transport artery that will connect the industrial facilities of the park to the Ukrzaliznytsia network and open direct access to European markets. Additionally, major repairs are being carried out on the exit ramp from the highway,” he said.
In addition, state funding covers the full cycle of energy supply, specifically the construction of a new 110 kV high-voltage power line, the construction of a modern “BF Terminal” substation, and the reconstruction of the existing outdoor switchgear. “This creates a reserve of energy stability not only for the industrial park but also for the entire regional power grid,” says Kindrativ.
According to Mikita, railway tracks and electrical infrastructure have already been built at a total cost of 316.6 million UAH. Approximately 148 million UAH of this amount was financed from the state budget.
As reported, at the end of 2025, “BF Terminal” in Zakarpattia Oblast, among others, received state funding for infrastructure development, specifically 11.908 million UAH for the major repair of the exit ramp from the highway.
