The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (Oregon, the United States), the manufacture of rolling stock, seeks to enter the Ukrainian market in the near term.
“We have been studying the Ukrainian market for several years and assume that we will come to this market in the near future,” Assistant Vice President for International Marketing at Greenbrier Adem Saglik said at the Rail Expo 2018 exhibition in Kyiv.
At the same time, he said that in order to make the Ukrainian market more attractive to foreign companies, it is necessary to make a number of legislative changes.
“It is important to adopt several laws, in particular, on market liberalization, so that private operators also have access to the market and there is competition… It is very important for us to see that private traction is supported by the government of the country,” he said.
According to Saglik, the sooner Ukraine liberalizes the traction market, the more European companies will come and start working.
Earlier, Greenbrier considered the option of creating a leasing company in Ukraine.
