The BGV team participated in the closed investor roundtable “Privatization as a Strategic Investment Opportunity,” held on January 20, 2026, at Ukraine House in Davos, Switzerland, as part of the World Economic Forum.

During the discussion, which brought together prominent international investors, financial institutions, and government representatives, Sergii Voitsekhovskyi, a member of the board of directors at BGV Group Management, presented the case of the acquisition and revitalization of the AEROK (now PORISTON) plants. This transaction ranks among the largest privatization deals involving a sanctioned asset in Ukraine and serves as a prime example of effective investment.

In particular, Sergii Voitsekhovskyi highlighted that the final deal price reached UAH 1.89 billion, nearly doubling the starting bid, with all proceeds directed to the state budget. Currently, the company employs almost 200 people, contributed UAH 65 million in taxes in the first half of 2025, and holds approximately 20% of the aerated concrete market. The next phase involves launching production in Obukhiv and achieving full capacity output of more than 1.15 million cubic meters of products annually.

“The war itself is not a deterrent for businesses considering large-scale privatization projects. What remains crucial for success are systematic approaches, professional management, and a long-term vision. For BGV, this is not a one-off deal, but part of a broader strategic development model through which we invest in assets that will help restore production, create jobs, and form one of the pillars of Ukraine’s recovery,” said Sergii Voitsekhovskyi.
