Unilever will invest €20M in a new factory in the Kyiv region.

Unilever announced that it will invest €20M in a new production facility in the Kyiv region to support its growing business and demonstrate its long-term commitment.

Construction is scheduled to begin this year, with the factory expected to open in 2024. The new factory will create about 100 jobs and produce personal care products, shampoos, and shower gels from brands such as Dove, Axe, TRESemmé, and Clear.

The plant will primarily supply goods to the Ukrainian market and potentially produce products for other European markets.

The factory will be built to the highest environmental standards using renewable energy technologies, contributing to Unilever’s goal of net zero emissions across the value chain by 2039.
