Kingspan Group has received its first building permit to start construction on a state-of-the-art Building Technology Manufacturing Campus near Lviv, Ukraine.
First announced in 2022, the €280 million investment marks the first major Western business project in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began. The facility will produce advanced insulation, energy-efficient building materials, and district heating solutions, supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction.
With approval from the State Inspection of Architecture and Urban Planning (DIAM), site preparation for the first phase is now underway. A significant part of the campus is expected to be completed within five years, creating over 700 jobs and boosting the local economy.
Designed as a low-carbon facility, the campus will use renewable energy and sustainable technologies. Its products will contribute to rebuilding efforts and support the global push to decarbonise construction, which accounts for 39% of energy-related carbon emissions.
Kingspan’s Ukraine Project Director Mike Stenson said, “We’re thrilled to get the greenlight to begin work on the site, which marks a hugely important milestone for us. We were among the first Western businesses to announce plans to invest in Ukraine since the full scale invasion, and we have been fully committed ever since. Working closely with officials local to the site and Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy and Ukraine Invest we’re very excited for our vision at this stage to become a reality.”
