TOLK Partnerships: 20 years KronoSpan in Ukraine - how to build during the war

To spread: Tolk clients are partners who, together with their energy supplier, work to strengthen the Ukrainian economy. The TOLK group provides stable and reliable power supply, and its customers - large, medium and small businesses - create jobs, introduce innovations and develop key industries. This partnership is based on a common purpose - the reconstruction and development of Ukraine, even during the periods of the biggest challenges.

In the Rivne region there is one of the largest objects of the woodworking industry of Ukraine - KronoSpan. Not only does it form up to 80% of the Ukrainian stove materials market, it also demonstrates how you can develop even in the most difficult times. The history of Kronospan in Ukraine began in 2004, when investors bought the premises of the former weaving factory in Novovolynsk and converted it to the issue of chipboard.

The next step was the construction of a new plant in the village of Gorodok, which started in 2019. Already in 2021 the company released the first products, and later - the OSB plates. Today, the company at two Ukrainian plants produces a wide range of slab materials, actively modernizes lines and uses modern technologies. It also created its own logistics center in Kalinovka. According to the management, the main value of "Kronospan" is a team of professionals.

The holding owner pays a lot of attention to the selection of personnel, which allows to combine innovation with high quality standards adopted in the European market. The team demonstrated dedication at the most difficult moments: during the Covid-19 pandemic and from the first days of a full-scale war, the employees remained in production, ensuring the continuous operation of the enterprise. The company is actively implementing new solutions.

Thanks to the system of exchange of experience between more than 40 enterprises of the group, innovations are spreading rapidly in different countries. The Rivne plant operates UTWS technology, which allows you to reuse gases when drying raw materials. This significantly reduces emissions - on a sunny day from the pipes of the enterprise is not visible smoke.

The company adheres to the Golden Balance: the older generation of management supports tradition, and younger is introducing innovative approaches. This allows you not to lose the pace of development and at the same time avoid risky experiments. Ensuring production stability during blackouts was a call for Cronospan.

The company is looking for reliable partners and implements energy -saving technologies: from frequency converters to optimize equipment to simple solutions such as automatic shutdown. Collaboration with the supplier of electricity "Tolk Ukraine" has become strategic for the enterprise. It appreciates reliability and mutually beneficial conditions that help to work stable even in crisis. The strongest source of motivation for workers is the atmosphere within the team.
