Ukraine: The Kovalska Group has completed its construction of the first phase of an upcoming autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, slabs and reinforced elements plant in Rozvadiv, Lviv Oblast. This phase of the plant will have 600,000m²/yr of total capacity. Open4Business News has reported that preparations for commissioning are now underway.
A second phase will subsequently double this to 1.2Mm²/yr. The 140ha site lies 40km from the city of Lviv and is well-connected to the EU border in Poland. Along with an upcoming Siltek dry mixes plant and existing limestone and sandstone quarries, the plant is set to comprise part of a new Western Industrial Hub in the oblast.
CEO Sergiy Pylypenko said “The investment for both phases amounts to over €100m. This is the largest project in the history of the company. We are building the plant to European standards, with increased requirements for quality, environmental performance and efficiency. The products will be sold both in Ukraine and abroad.”
