In Vinnytsia, as a result of a Russian drone attack on the night of Wednesday, July 16, the GreenCool enterprise, which produces refrigerators and ice cream chests, was damaged.
This was reported by Igor Humenny, president of the UBC group of companies, which includes the Vinnytsia enterprise “Green Cool”.
According to him, the Vinnytsia plant has been operating since 2018, producing refrigerators and ice cream chests.
“100% autonomous and green in sunny weather, covered in solar panels, our flagship was severely damaged,” Humenny informed.
He noted that the employees, the night shift, were not injured. Everyone managed to take shelter in time, but the explosions and fire seriously damaged the premises and equipment.
“We can’t make a full assessment yet, firefighters and sappers are working at the plant. As soon as they finish their work, we will start the restoration,” the president of UBC group assured.
He emphasized that despite the losses, the main thing is not the premises and equipment, but the people, “our employees are our main asset.”
Humenny noted that the trained and prepared team already has experience moving from bombed factories in Kharkiv and restoring in Vinnytsia.
“They’ve already got us in Vinnytsia. This is the third UBC Group enterprise bombed in Ukraine,” Humenny sadly stated.
Russia reported that they had hit a strategic facility: “Russian drones attacked the Green Cool company, whose official business profile is the production of antifreezes and refrigerants.
“We have never even had any government contracts in our entire history,” he emphasized.
