The industrial and construction group “Kovalska” has announced the postponement of the launch of the first phase of the new autoclaved aerated concrete production plant in the Lviv region by several months — the opening is now expected at the end of 2025. Currently, the company is completing the commissioning work, which was supposed to be finished back in August, but the launch timeline had to be delayed.

Reasons for the postponement of the plant opening
The company explained that the adjustment of timelines is related to a shortage of qualified personnel and delays from foreign contractors, which arose due to the full-scale war. The new plant is intended to compensate for the lost asset of the group in southern Ukraine.
“The enterprise was planned to be launched back in August, but the timeline has been postponed to the end of 2025. The reasons for the postponement of the launch date are explained by the company as a shortage of necessary personnel and forced delays from foreign contractors due to the war.”
Project scale and investments
The construction of the first phase of the enterprise began in 2023 in the village of Rozvadiv, located 40 km from Lviv. The plant will become one of the largest producers of autoclaved aerated concrete in Ukraine, with the capacity of the two phases reaching over 1.2 million tons of product per year. The enterprise will be part of the Western industrial hub of “Kovalska,” which unites enterprises in the extraction, processing of raw materials, and production of building materials within a single industrial space. The total investment in the creation of the hub in the Lviv region amounts to €100 million.
