NEQSOL Holding ​comments on its intent to purchase shares in Ukraine’s largest cement producer

The construction materials industry is one of the priority directions for NEQSOL Holding's international group of companies. The Holding owns Norm Cement, a plant launched in 2013, which is now the largest cement producer in the South Caucasus. With a strong international management team, NEQSOL Holding pursues a strategy of creating a leading player in the cement industry in Central and Eastern Europe.

As an international strategic investor, NEQSOL Holding has announced its interest in expanding investment portfolio in Ukraine by entering the construction materials market.

According to NEQSOL Holding, the group of companies is currently at the final stage of negotiations with the shareholders of Ivano-FrankivskCement Private Joint Stock Company (PJSC), Ukraine’s largest cement producer. On October 18, the Holding filed an application to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) for the purchase of shares in PJSC.

The Ukrainian deal is expected to be financed by a group of leading international financial institutions and banks. Due to ongoing negotiations, the commercial terms of the deal are not disclosed.

NEQSOL Holding is hopeful for an approval of the new deal at AMCU. The holding recognizes the long-time outstanding results achieved by Ivano-Frankivskсement management team and staff, who have created one of the most state-of-the-art, cutting-edge, and profitable cement plants in Europe.

In 2019, NEQSOL Holding has made the acquisition of Vodafone Ukraine, one of the country’s largest telecommunications providers. In early 2021, the Holding launched regional Kyiv office.
