The German company Reisswolf, which provides services for storing and destroying information, has opened its representative office Reisswolf Ukraine in Kyiv.
According to a report of the company released on Tuesday, the capacity of the first archival storage located in Kyiv is 200,000 archive boxes or about 3,000 tonnes of paper.
In addition to offsite storage, Reisswolf Ukraine will provide archival processing, digitization, electronic archiving and confidential destruction of documents.
“The security of document storage is achieved by three-level protection and depersonalization of boxes, when identification occurs exclusively by bar codes. Digitized documents are stored on servers located in the EU,” the company said.
According to Director of Reisswolf Ukraine Serhiy Aloni, there are already operators of archival storage on the Ukrainian market.
“Reisswolf Ukraine sees its role in making storage, digitization and other procedures with business documents familiar to companies of any level, including sole proprietorship,” he said.
The company estimates the volume of the Ukrainian archive storage market at 2 million boxes per year, noting that today only 10% of Ukrainian companies use archive storage services, while in Europe this figure reaches 65-70%.
“In the next five years, Reisswolf plans to expand its presence in other large cities of Ukraine – Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv, and Dnipro,” the company said.

Johnson & Johnson Ukraine predicts a 7-9% growth in the pharmaceutical market in 2021, Johnson & Johnson Country Manager Denis Golubchykov has said.
“Regarding the development of the market, my forecast is average. I do not expect a fall or gains of 1-2%, but I do not expect double-digit gains either. Somewhere in the 7-9% range is what we expect,” he said during EBA Global Outlook held in Kyiv on Tuesday.
Golubchykov also said that due to the pandemic, the pharmaceutical market faced a crisis for the first time in recent years.
“We work in the pharmaceutical market and the FMCG market. They behaved completely differently. The pharmaceutical market at first gave a panic leap upwards. It is not clear why people decided to buy half a pharmacy. Naturally, this played negatively and even more in April. The market fell very dramatically and it is slowly creeping out of there. All previous crises did not affect the pharmaceutical industry, this is the first time,” he said.
“The FMCG market behaved differently. All this [the fall] happened later, by the beginning of summer, and not so dramatically downward, and respectively, it will not take so long to get out of the situation. From part of the market, a new category has formed – people have got used to using more detergents, disinfection in several months. This category is growing within the market. Beauty has dropped dramatically,” Golubchykov said.
