The Miroplast plant (Dnipro), part of the Alef corporation of businessman Vadym Yermolaev and one of the largest producers of PVC window profiles in Eastern Europe, is investing more than UAH 60 million in the modernization of production facilities, planning to upgrade its facilities by the end of 2020.
“As a result, the number of extruders will increase to 31, the monthly production capacity will grow up to 5,870 tonnes of PVC profiles, and the maximum annual capacity will be 70,440 tonnes, which is 30% more than in 2019,” Yermolaev said on his Facebook page.
He said that part of the investments will be committed to modernizing warehouse equipment and improving warehouse logistics in general.
According to information on the company’s website, from 2012 to 2018, the number of extruders increased from 27 to 29, and the maximum monthly capacity – from 4,000 tonnes to 4,500 tonnes.
According to the company’s press service, high-speed extrusion lines for the production of PVC profiles and window sills have been purchased, and the increase in capacity is due to an increase in demand for Ukrainian-made products among domestic and foreign consumers.
Miroplast began its operations in 2006. In 2007, seven extruders with a monthly capacity of 780 tonnes were installed. The company manufactures profile systems for windows and doors under the WDS trademark.
