In 2010, when we made decision to purchase a factory in Ivano-Frankivsk I was the first from the company who visited Ukraine. One of the reason why Electrolux decided to invest here - is your region. Precisely, its special investment climate, which is being considered quite good. Of course, each investment project – is a challenge. When I came to my boss and asked for a few millions of Euro to invest into the deal, he asked me: «Ernesto, do you believe that factory in Ukraine will work, produce and sell products?». I answered yes. Today’s event actually proves this. We see qualified and capable work force, local authority officials, who are ready to assist us, and the products being manufactured
