Now Ukrainian cat and dog food is exported to 37 countries. The annual export value amounts to 15.4% in the company’s total sales, which is 2.9% more compared to 2019.
Kormotech’s main achievement last year was the opening of its own factory in Lithuania. COVID-19 did not prevent it from building a cutting-edge automated production facility in less than a year.
To establish a new production platform, the company attracted additional financing from EBRD in the amount of 10 million EUR. Due to lockdown restrictions, the new production line set upAs well as its official opening in July 2020 all took place remotely. Having a production facility in Lithuania will allow the company to produce 20 thousand tons of wet food per year. This brings Kormotech one step closer to its aim of breaking into the top 50 players of global pet food industry by 2023.
“To achieve Kormotech’s vision, we need to increase volumes by about 20 thousand tons every year. That is why our own production facility in Lithuania is not the end. In 2020, we invested 6 million EUR in a new line for dry food production in Ukraine. After planned expansion in 2021 we’ll be able to offer our partners up to 44 thousand tons of ready-made meals for cats and dogs, which is an increase of 29,6 % compared to last year,” says Rostyslav Vovk, CEO at Kormotech.
