On September 14, Velta Holding presented its production facilities and promising projects in the Kirovohrad region to a delegation from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), representatives of the US Embassy in Ukraine, and the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine.
The presentation took place as part of a preliminary assessment of investment opportunities and potential inclusion of the company’s projects in the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund portfolio.
The American delegation, together with the Ukrainian side, familiarized themselves with the operations of the Byrzulivsky mining and processing complex for titanium raw material extraction and processing. They also visited the Likarivske deposit site, where Velta Holding will implement the Ukrainian CRM-cluster project. The cluster envisions creating a complete production cycle — from titanium ore mining, critical materials and raw materials necessary for Ukraine’s military and post-war reconstruction — to final products made from titanium powder.
In particular, the delegation was shown Velta Medical’s individual titanium implant printing station, which the group manufactures for wounded military personnel.
Andriy Brodsky, CEO of Velta Holding, noted:
“We presented projects that may be included in the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund portfolio. It is important for us to show that Ukraine is capable of being not only a supplier of critical raw materials but also a center of modern technologies and a supplier of end products. Our projects align with Ukrainian-American goals – building new supply chains for critical raw materials and rebuilding the country.”
Velta Holding’s projects are of strategic importance for joint security and are ready for launch without the need for complex legislative changes. The structure provides a clear mechanism for joint investment, a transparent management model, and focuses on maximum long-term effect.
Matthew Murray, Chair of the Board of Advisors of Velta Holding, added:
“Velta Holding’s titanium cluster is more than a mining project. It’s an integrated industrial model — from raw material extraction to metal powder processing and high-tech product printing. Velta provides the US with a reliable partner, and Ukraine with a path to scaling critical materials production, strengthening Western supply chains in defense and aerospace industries. With the support of the US and Ukrainian governments, Velta Holding can accelerate timelines, expand production volumes, and achieve strategic results. We can become a model of economic deterrence.”
As a reminder, the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund was officially launched on May 23, 2025, as a joint initiative of the US and Ukrainian governments. Its goal is to attract private capital to key economic sectors based on transparent rules and strategic priorities.
