West Berry launches new berry freezing facility in Lviv region

West Berry LLC (Drohobych, Lviv region), one of Ukraine’s leading exporters of frozen berries, has launched a new production facility with modern sorting and processing lines and blast freezing tunnels, according to the Drohobych City Council.

According to the report, the new facility, with an area of about 10,000 square meters, was built in six months. The project includes two shock freezing tunnels with a total capacity of 7 tons per hour (3.5 tons each) and six product storage chambers.

“Our goal is to ensure a full production cycle: from growing and harvesting berries to freezing and selling finished products on European markets,” said company CEO Volodymyr Sambirsky.

The company is currently completing the construction of office space, a canteen, and a modern shelter.

In 2025, the company won a $150,000 grant from the FAO and the European Union, which made it possible to speed up the launch of new lines.

West Berry LLC was founded in 2016.

It specializes in harvesting and freezing wild and cultivated berries (sea buckthorn, currants, blueberries, raspberries, elderberries, etc.). The products are exported to Germany, Italy, France, Poland, and the Baltic countries.
