Significant Growth Despite Martial Law
According to company representative Viktoriya Pazychuk, after the onset of the full-scale invasion, the company was able to double its business in Ukraine over the past three years. She emphasized that the trust of the German client played a key role in this process, as they not only did not withdraw from cooperation during the war but also expanded it. The company closely collaborates with about 450 Ukrainian partners. In 2024, the turnover with local suppliers reached €12 million (over ₴500 million), and the amount of taxes paid for the year also amounted to ₴500 million (€11 million).
“The key factor for success has been the trust of the German client, who not only did not withdraw projects during the war but even expanded cooperation.”
Expansion Plans and New Facilities
Kromberg & Schubert has been operating in the Ukrainian market since 2005, specializing in the production of electronic systems for cars of leading global brands, including Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz. The success of the plant in Lutsk has contributed to the opening of a new facility in Zhytomyr. The company intends to continue implementing long-term projects and expanding its presence in Ukraine.
