Details: On the night of 9-10 September, another civilian garment factory was hit by a Russian strike. It happened in the town of Volochysk in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. This is one of the production sites of the well-known GOLDI-LNOKOMBINAT clothing network, which sells exclusively Ukrainian-made products.
Goldi operates more than 40 shops across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Lutsk, Lviv, Odesa, Poltava, Kherson, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih.
Quote: "Production is spread across several sites, but the Volochysk factory is one of the largest, and for decades it has produced only civilian clothing – hoodies, shirts, blouses, skirts and more".
Sokolovskyi added that, despite the obstacles, the founder, Oleh Chervoniuk, was determined to get the factory back up and running.
According to Chervoniuk, the Volochysk factory’s workforce numbered over 100, and he stressed that the true strength of any company came from its people rather than its equipment or premises. Nationwide, the company employs more than 1,200 people.
