CEO Sergey Evlanchik said: “Although we expect the current pressure on Ukrainian consumer finances to be maintained, we see plenty of potential for sales and profit growth through improving efficiency gains looking forwards. Also we are leveraging our existing business by expanding exports as well as our distribution services. I have every confidence that the new team will assist me in driving forward Ukrproduct’s strategy of increasing sales and improving profitability.”
