Ukrainalainen posliininvalmistusperinne sai alkunsa Volyniasta 1700-luvun lopulla. 1800-luvun puoliväliin mennessä, pieniä posliinitehtaita syntyi suurten monikansallisten posliiniyritysten tulon myötä. Information about them is usually extremely scarce.
Poland’s close proximity to the Ukraine has made its history no less complicated than Russia’s. 1700-luvulla, monet varakkaat puolalaiset omistivat omaisuutta Volyniassa. By the 19th century Poles were still the main customers of Ukrainian porcelain and faience factories, and their products were stored in warehouses in Moscow, Varsovassa ja muissa kaupungeissa ja myydään siellä olevissa kaupoissa. Siten jälkiä ukrainalaisesta valmistuksesta on runsaasti Puolan museoissa ja yksityisissä kokoelmissa.
The ratio of locally produced sanitary ware to imported products in the Ukrainian sanitary ware market is about 6:4. The two leading Ukrainian sanitary ware companies are both foreign-owned. Lisäksi, a number of them are concentrated in Slavuta, in the north of Khmelnytskyi region. Industry is a key element of the region’s growth, with more than 100 companies operating in the town.
JSC “Slavuta plant “Budfarfor” – one of the largest factories in Eastern Europe, which earlier focused on porcelain and later on the production of sanitary ware.
LLC “Aqua-Rodos” – a leading manufacturer of furniture in Ukraine.
LLC “Sanservis” specializes in the production of bathroom furniture. Over the years of its activity, the company has established close partnerships with the network of hypermarkets, wholesale bases, retail stores throughout Ukraine.
LLC “Yuventa” valmistaa moderneja kylpyhuonekalusteita.
Heidän joukossa, Slavutan tehdas “Budfarfor” on mainittava Ukrainan saniteettikeramiikkateollisuuden yhteydessä. Tehdas perustettiin vuonna 1909. Ensimmäinen erä saniteettiposliinia valmistettiin vuonna 1910.
Sisään 1922, tehdas kansallistettiin, ja sisään 1946, the so-called pouring method was introduced for the first time in the Soviet Union, mikä kaksinkertaisti tuotannon. 1960-luvulla, the factory underwent an intensive technical renovation; glazing technology was introduced. Sisään 1975, tehdas muutettiin kokonaan posliinituotteiksi ja siitä tuli johtava saniteettikeramiikan valmistaja Neuvostoliitossa, jonka vuosituotanto on 1.7 miljoonaa kappaletta. From 1944 to 1956 se oli osa Neuvostoliiton teollisuusrakennusmateriaalien ministeriötä.
Neuvostoliiton hajoamisen jälkeen 1990-luvulla, it became one of the few factories in Ukraine to remain in operation, and later came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Building Materials of Ukraine.
Lokakuussa 2006, an agreement was signed with the Finnish company Sanitec Group Corporation to set up a joint venture for further modernization of the enterprise, tuotteiden laadun parantaminen, suunnittelua ja laajentamista. Analyytikkojen mukaan, Slavutan osuus “Budfarfor” in the Ukrainian market in 2007 oli 30%.
Tietojen mukaan, Geberit entered the Ukrainian market in the second half of 2004. Sisään 2015, Geberit completed the acquisition of 99% Sanitec Groupin osakkeista. Geberit has been able to localize its development by taking over Sanitec’s Ukrainian assets. Sisään 2017, Geberit monopolized the main flushing systems market in Ukraine. Sisään 2019, Geberit invested in a large modern production site and logistics center near the former state-owned sanitary ware plant. Currently, it is one of the largest manufacturers of sanitary ware in Ukraine.
According to an interview with Oleksiy Rakov, General Director of Geberit Trading LLC, published in the Ukrainian press in 2020, it can be learned that Geberit currently has two factories in Ukraine, with products at the low-end, mid-range and high-end. One of the sanitary ceramics factory has an annual capacity of about 3.5 miljoonaa kappaletta. It has a tunnel kiln of 147 meters in Sacmi.
According to the news of February 7, the old Budfarfor factory has been privatized. The auction will be held on March 4. It includes 38 property complexes with a total area of 82,929.1 square meters.
Lisäksi, another large bathroom company in the Ukrainian market is Cersanit Invest LLC, which is also a Polish holding company, specializing in tiles and sanitary ware, located in the city of Kielce in southeastern Ukraine. Yrityksen laattatehtaan uudessa Volenskin kaupungissa on vuotuinen kapasiteetti noin 12 miljoonaa neliömetriä. It is worth noting that the largest shareholder of the company is Polish Michał Sołowow, a resident of Kielce, Ukraina.
