Poland’s Pronar, a major manufacturer of agricultural and municipal equipment, is patenting a special machine for demining fields and construction sites, planning to start mass production for Ukraine’s needs in 2024, said Radoslaw Biletsky, Pronar’s director of trade and marketing.
“A team of 150 engineers is working very closely with partners in Ukraine to overcome the existing challenges – mined agricultural fields… so that agricultural machinery has special integrated systems that could solve these problems,” he said at the forum “Ukraine-Poland. Machinery and Equipment Sector” forum under the patronage of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency and the Polish Union of Employers in the Construction Sector in Siemiatycze, Poland.
Biletsky declined to give more precise specifications of the machine until the patenting procedure is completed, noting that the vehicle will be automated, can be controlled remotely, and can be used in fields, construction sites, and other open areas.
According to the Sales and Marketing Director, this is another product line that Pronar has designed specifically for use in Ukraine.
“The newest line is shredding machines. They allow us to bring to zero those places where the business will continue to develop in order to prepare locations for new construction,” said Biletsky.
He added that Pronar also exports snowplows, spreaders and sweepers to Ukraine, which help to ensure transportation.
Earlier, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine indicated that there are 30 demining machines in the country, of which 25 are in constant operation.
Pronar is a Polish manufacturing company that has been operating since 1988. According to its website, it has nine production sites, its own research and development center, airport and exhibition center. According to the company, it holds a significant position in Europe in the production of agricultural, municipal and processing machinery, crushers and disc wheels for low-speed machines and components, supplying products to more than 80 countries in total.
