Kyiv wood products firm with zero staff or revenue bids to buy Mykolaiv region's Fregat Plant

Kyiv-based company Anyway LLC, which specializes in manufacturing wood products, has announced its intention to acquire a substantial stake in PJSC Fregat Plant, a Mykolaiv region-based firm that produces agricultural machinery and special-purpose vehicles. The acquisition would grant Anyway a 96.25% stake in the company, valued at UAH 4.8 billion.

Anyway LLC, registered in November 2007, currently has no revenue or employees, with losses totaling UAH 3.5 million in 2024 and 2025. The company's assets are valued at UAH 61,400. Its owners include private enterprise Consulting Company KNK and its director, Vadym Bondarenko, with ultimate beneficial owners being Bondarenko and Vasyl Kotynkevych.

Kotynkevych, a resident of Vinnytsia region, is also a co-owner of Kyiv-based Sky-Development LLC, which acquired a significant share of Berdychiv Machine-Building Plant Progress in 2026.

PJSC Fregat Plant, once a major manufacturer of agricultural machinery and industrial equipment, has struggled in recent years. In 2025, the company reported a net loss of UAH 81.2 million and revenue of UAH 47.6 million. In the first half of 2026, Fregat Plant continued to report losses, with a net revenue of UAH 18.7 million and a loss of UAH 89.3 million. The plant's sales volume has also significantly decreased, with only UAH 3.4 million worth of products sold in the third quarter alone.

Despite the challenges, Anyway LLC remains intent on acquiring the majority stake in Fregat Plant, with the transaction expected to be completed soon.
