AsstrA Recognized in the “Ukrainian Company of the Year“ Program

21.09.2020

Since 2018, The All-Ukrainian Industry Analysis Center has been researching the economic activities of enterprises and organizations in the region. Ukrainian companies’ market positions are objectively assessed based on cross-industry data. The Center’s main goal is to identify reliable, growing companies. The team also aims to support economic partnership programs in Ukraine and indicate the best sectors to invest in.

The Center's experts reviewed over 9,000 small and medium-sized businesses in Kiev that are undertaking "Other auxiliary activities" as per Ukrainian business classification code 52.29.

The Center’s expert assessment is based on a number of business metric such as:

  • EBITDA or capital performance,
  • profitability of assets,
  • current liquidity ratio,
  • financial soundness ratio, and
  • return on equity.

The Center’s analysis is ongoing, so being consistently identified as a solid performer confirms that a company is key industry player that competently delivers on expectations. Based on the most recent assessment, AsstrA was recognized in the Center’s "Company of the Year" program.

Accordingly, the Ukrainian subsidiary of the Swiss corporate group was included in the Register of Reliable and Investment-Worthy Enterprises in Ukraine. AsstrA Ukraine opened for business in 1999. The local team works from representative offices in Kiev and Odessa and has 26 years of experience optimizing logistics services for clients doing business in Ukraine.

“Receiving such expert approval is a significant step for AsstrA’s Ukrainian representative offices. When we expanded to Ukraine, our primary goal was to be closer to our clients and partners. Being independently recognized by these analysts as a trustworthy partner highlights our exemplary status, stability and reputation in the Ukrainian market,” says Nataliya Demchenko, AsstrA Ukraine Branch Manager.
