Kovlar Group's share of Ukraine's fire protection market in 2024 is 60%

Thanks to the best price-quality ratio, professional service and high customer trust, Kovlar Group's share of Ukraine's fire protection market in 2024 amounted to 60%, and for some products it reaches 90%. The company announced this in a press release.
According to the company's co-founder Kostiantyn Kalafat: “In 2016, the then newly established company Kovlar Group offered the construction market of Ukraine an affordable fire-protective plaster, Ammokote GP-240, which completely changed the rules of the game in the segment. Before that, the market for fire protection materials was mostly divided between unscrupulous Russian manufacturers and importers of European products, who kept prices for fire protection high. This not only increased construction budgets but also harmed the development of the metal structures industry in Ukraine, as customers refused to use steel solutions in their projects because of the high cost of their fire protection.”
According to him, after the innovative gypsum plaster Ammokote GP-240 entered the market, thanks to an excellent combination of high fire-protective properties and a low price, it became so successful that within a few years it took about 80% of the market for plaster-type fire protection materials. This allowed the company to invest in its own production with modern equipment and a large warehouse, in the creation of a research laboratory that makes it possible to conduct fire tests, and in the development of new materials.
Today the company's portfolio includes more than 20 different types of fire protection materials. Over the past 6 years, Kovlar Group's turnover amounted to about UAH 200 million, of which the company paid more than UAH 38 million to the budget of Ukraine, which is a record figure for the fire protection segment.
The owners of Kovlar Group are three citizens of Ukraine: Kostiantyn Kalafat, Liubov Vakhitova and Andrii Ozeichuk.
