Despite their proximity to the front, Interpipe and Nibulon continue to invest in capacity expansion. 

According to Interpipe’s top manager Denys Morozov, the company is opening a new heat separation plant in Nikopol, investing $40M, and has many more plans for the future.

The company’s production volume is approaching pre-war levels: 33% of volume is supplied to Europe and it operates in 80 countries. However, there are some problems, including an increase in production cost, high electricity tariffs, and proximity to the front line at Nikopol, where the company’s main assets are located.

Agricultural company Nibulon, the largest Ukrainian operator of elevator capacities, carried out modernization measures at two of its complexes in the Mykolaiv region. A second line for transshipment was built at the Vradiivskyi agricultural plant, which allowed it to double the capacity to 150-180 tons per hour. At the Kolosivsky Elevator branch, the company increased grain transshipment productivity to vehicles thanks to the launch of two bunkers with a capacity of 40 tons each.
