Ukrainian brand Sleeper is opening its first store in Kyiv, the company announced.
According to the brand’s social media pages, the boutique at 3 Rylskyi Lane is scheduled to open on Kyiv Day, May 31.
“This boutique expands the Sleeper ethos: each piece is made from start to finish in 6–12 hours by a single tailor, honoring the legacy of Kyiv’s light industry schools,” the brand announced on Facebook.
Sleeper, a premium-quality women’s clothing brand, was founded in Kyiv in 2014 by Katya Zubareva and Asya Varetsa, starting with a collection of everyday pajamas.
The Korosten Reinforced Concrete Sleeper Plant (ZBSH Plant, Zhytomyr Region), which is part of Ukrzaliznytsia, increased its net profit by 7.4 times in 2025 compared to 2024, to UAH 47.1 million.
According to the company’s financial statements in the information disclosure system of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), net income for the past year increased by 11.8% to UAH 478.2 million.
The plant received UAH 93.7 million in gross profit (3.9 times more), and operating profit increased 7.4 times to UAH 59.9 million.
At the same time, the report notes that in the fourth quarter of 2025, the company received net sales revenue of UAH 167.47 million, which is UAH 104.77 million (2.7 times) more than planned, but UAH 8.75 million (-5%) less than in the same period of 2024, due to a decrease in orders for reinforced concrete products.
Korosten ZBS specializes in the production of reinforced concrete sleepers, switch beams, and mobile modular shelters.
Production capacity utilization is 95% dependent on orders from Ukrzaliznytsia.
At the beginning of 2026, the plant had 363 employees, with an average monthly salary of UAH 34,900.
In 2024, the company produced 269,810 sleepers and 80 sets of switch beams. Its net income decreased by 10% compared to the previous year, to UAH 427.8 million, while net profit increased 4.6 times, to UAH 6.3 million.
