Industrial capability. Established infrastructure. A new phase of development.
PFK is a long-established metallurgical enterprise in central Ukraine, with substantial industrial infrastructure and deep roots in the local community.
In 2026, PFK became part of Avenir Holding, beginning a new phase focused on responsible stewardship of the existing industrial site, future investment and long-term industrial development.
A new chapter for PFK
Building on an established industrial foundation
PFK has developed over decades as an important metallurgical site. Its existing industrial infrastructure, utilities, transport connections, buildings and technical capabilities provide a substantial foundation for future development.
Avenir Holding, as PFK’s new shareholder, is developing a long-term programme for the site that combines preservation and productive reuse of existing assets with the creation of new industrial and energy opportunities.
