Furthermore, the project team will seek consultation on technology and equipment optimization, energy efficiency, and safety systems implementation, and integration of modern ESG standards, including occupational safety, logistics safety, CO₂ footprint control, comprehensive risk assessment, and advanced energy management systems.

“Our agreement is a great example of support from the global industry for the technological development of Ukrainian enterprises. It is important for us to share expertise, help implement the best technological solutions, and provide all necessary consultations for the operation of such a large-scale enterprise,” Leopoldo Castiella, Head of Architectural Glass NSG Group.

In addition, the plant will implement an ESG-oriented production model in accordance with international standards.

The enterprise will create more than 300 jobs and strengthen the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the region.
