On January 19, in Vinnytsia City Council were signed two agreements concerning the construction by a Portuguese company of a plant for the production of building materials on the territory of Vinnytsia Industrial Park.

They will be exported to Germany, Luxembourg and Portugal.

Vinnytsia City Council is cooperating with TCS in the framework of a signed memorandum of understanding from 2019. Additional agreements were signed on the meeting. These are the sublease agreement of the land plot and the agreement on economic activity of TCS UKRAINIAN INVESTMENTS LLC within Vinnytsia Industrial Park. This is another step towards the start of construction of the TCS plant in Vinnytsia.

During the meeting, Deputy Mayor Andrii Ocheretnyi conveyed congratulations from Mayor Serhii Morhunov. "Today there are three industrial parks in Vinnytsia. And it is very nice that two of them are already at different stages of implementation. We hope that it will be easy for you to run your business in Vinnytsia and you will be able to build your production facilities quickly enough to reach the planned parameters," says Andrii Ocheretnyi. "After the construction of the plant, more than 200 Vinnytsia residents will work there."

The Portuguese company TCS is known for patenting an innovative construction system that reduces the impact on the environment and increases the reliability of buildings.

The owner of TCS UKRAINIAN INVESTMENT LLC, João Pedro De Oliveira Ferreira De Araújo, said that the construction of the plant is planned to begin this year. "Blocks that will be manufactured at the plant in Vinnytsia can be used for the construction of various buildings and houses. Projects from such blocks are already being implemented in different countries. In Vinnytsia, three types of blocks will be made: external, internal and for the roof. We will use raw materials from Germany, technologies from Europe and the USA. Among the advantages of Vinnytsia, which is the location of the plant, is that it is close to Europe. This is important, because the products will be exported. We plan to create an infrastructure for employees at the plant, there will be an opportunity to improve the skills of employees."

Nataliia Kudrytska, General Director of TCS UKRAINIAN INVESTMENTS LLC, said that building from blocks is very simple: "One of the advantages of the blocks is that there is a frame inside them, which prevents the blocks from deforming. Houses made of such blocks have good thermal and wind isolation and waterproofing. The system has proven itself well in Canada, where it is very cold, and in African countries, where it is hot. Such houses do not need insulation. It is very important that such blocks do not burn. Environmental standards at the highest level."

The area of the plant's production facilities in Vinnytsia will be about 7,000 square meters. The total amount of investment in the construction of production will be more than 30 million euros, taking into account the cost of production equipment. The construction of the plant is planned on the territory of Vinnytsia Industrial Park next to such enterprises as Green Cool LLC (UBC-Group) and the future HEAD plant for the production of skis and sports equipment. It is important that the production of the TCS plant in Vinnytsia, as well as other enterprises in the city's industrial parks, will be environmentally friendly and will not harm the environment of our city.

The construction and commissioning of production facilities in Vinnytsia will take place in three stages. On the first stage it is planned to build and put into operation 3,000 square meters. According to preliminary calculations of TCS UKRAINIAN INVESTMENTS LLC, this will happen in late 2022 - early 2023. In the second and third stages, another 2,000 square meters of production space will be built. Staff will also be recruited gradually.
