Ukrainian project NovaSklo and three leading European glass equipment manufacturers: Horn Glass Industries (Germany), Zippe Industrieanlagen (Germany), and Bottero (Italy) signed a cooperation agreement during the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) 2025 in Rome.
The agreement establishes the foundation for the strategic partnership within the NovaSklo Project framework. The partners will collaborate on engineering, project management and equipment supply preparation for NovaSklo, Ukraine’s first high-tech float glass manufacturing plant. The project attracts over EUR 240 million in investment and is implemented at the initiative of the investment company EFI Group with support from UkraineInvest and Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy. The glass manufacturing plant is planned to be built in the Kyiv region by 2028.
NovaSklo serves as the project’s lead developer and is responsible for coordinating all phases and integrating partners’ contributions into the plant’s development strategy. Horn Glass Industries, Bottero and Zippe have already begun providing engineering and project services, including technical design, equipment configuration and engineering expertise in their respective areas.
