Made in Ukraine: First factory opens in Sygnivka Industrial Park
In Lviv, the first factory has opened in the Sygnivka Industrial Park — a production facility of USP, a leading Ukrainian sandwich panel manufacturer. The company already operates in several regions of Ukraine, making its expansion to Lviv a logical step in its growth and increased industrial presence across the country. This is a significant milestone, as USP became the first investor to launch actual production in the Park. The event holds practical importance for both the city and the entire country.
Registered in October 2023, the Sygnivka Industrial Park received UAH 114.9 million in state funding last year to co-finance the construction of essential infrastructure, including water supply and sewage systems, as well as electrical networks. Today, we are already witnessing tangible results — the launch of the first factory and the active construction phase of other enterprises.
“The primary goal of establishing industrial parks is to develop the processing industry, and today we see the first tangible result in this Park. The experience of Sygnivka is significant not only for Lviv but serves as an example for other parks across Ukraine. It realizes the very objective set by the relevant legislation — creating processing industry enterprises, rather than implementing warehouse or logistics projects. This is what generates jobs, tax revenues, and the industrial foundation of the economy. It will enable our economy to shift from exporting raw materials to exporting products made in Ukraine, which is our shared goal,” said Vitalii Kindrativ, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine.
The opening of the USP factory in Sygnivka is part of the national Made in Ukraine policy. This policy encompasses a range of programs — from grants for starting businesses and affordable “5-7-9” loans to compensation for the cost of Ukrainian equipment and localization in public procurement. Industrial parks hold a special place in this system: they serve as platforms for modern industrial infrastructure, where business clusters are formed, and processing industry enterprises are launched. Here, state co-financing of infrastructure combines with private investments in production facilities, transforming a set of support tools into a comprehensive model for economic development.
The opening of the factory in the Sygnivka Industrial Park is the result of effective collaboration between the Lviv City Council, the managing company Industrial Part Formation Sygnivka LLC, and investors. This example demonstrates how, through the interaction of the community and businesses, industrial parks move from concepts to practical development.
