The war in Ukraine has made adjustments to the usual quantitative indicators of grain storage equipment exports and their structure, but KMZ Industries’ cooperation with foreign customers continues, and the main ones are from neighbouring countries.

According to Valeriia Kalashnyk, CEO of KMZ Industries, the largest number of the company’s foreign customers are from the countries that are geographically closest to Ukraine: Moldova, Romania, Hungary, and the Baltic region.

“It is not without reason that customers from far abroad – from Africa, for example, or India – continue to be interested in our equipment. However, not everyone is ready to cooperate with a warring state. At the moment, it is easier for us to work with our neighbours. Even in the matter of logistics. For almost two years of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Romania has the largest share in KMZ Industries’ equipment exports. We have increased sales to this country,” – explained Valeriia Kalashnyk.

According to her, the company continues to work on increasing export sales of grain storage equipment and expanding its sales geography. The plan is to return to the 2021 shipment figures and, accordingly, increase them.

“We try to attend international exhibitions and conferences, because this is the only way to expand the circle of foreign partners and customers, and thus the market for KMZ Industries products. The trip to Agritechnica-2023, the largest international exhibition of agricultural technologies, where we adequately represented both KMZ Industries and Ukraine, was a landmark, very productive and timely for our team. We continue to work,” – added the CEO of KMZ Industries.
