The Ukrainian perfume manufacturer, Private Joint-Stock Company “Zolotonosha Perfume and Cosmetics Factory” (“Zolotonosha Perfume and Cosmetics Factory,” Cherkasy Oblast), will be converted into a limited liability company (LLC).
According to the company’s announcement in the National Securities and Stock Market Commission’s (NSSMC) information disclosure system, the relevant decision was adopted by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on June 9 with 100% of the votes.
Creditors’ claims will be accepted by the liquidation commission within two months from the date of publication of the announcement regarding the company’s dissolution through its transformation.
According to the meeting minutes posted on the company’s website, four shareholders, who collectively own 100% of the shares, also decided to amend the entry regarding the list of founders (members) of Zolotonoshskaya PKF PJSC in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs, and Public Associations, specifically reducing the number from 86 shareholders to four.
Currently, according to the company, the shareholders include: Valentina Dargel, who owns more than 19.72% of the authorized capital; Andriy Dargel (16.04%); “Aromatika” LLC (nearly 59.616%); and “Essenti” LLC (4.62%). At the general meeting of shareholders, Andrei Fedorenko represented them by proxy.
The owners of the body care products manufacturer Aromatika LLC (Kyiv) are Valentina Dargel (91.8%) and her son, Andrei, a German citizen (8.2%). They are also the owners of the Kyiv-based LLC “Essenti,” which imports, exports, and sells raw materials for the food, perfume, and cosmetics industries on the domestic market.
A public, irrevocable demand to repurchase shares from all shareholders of Zolotonosha PKF PJSC was received from Aromatika LLC in July 2025.
Zolotonosha PKF was founded in 1934 as a plant for processing essential oils (dill and mint). Later, the production of colognes was established, and starting in 1964, the production of liquid cosmetics—such as shampoos and lotions—began.
In 2025, the factory saw its net profit drop by more than five times compared to the previous year—to 5 million UAH—while net revenue fell by 32.4% to 92.9 million UAH. In the first quarter of this year, it reported a loss of 0.7 million UAH and revenue of 22.3 million UAH.
