Titan, Vodafone, and UAH 20 billion in expenses. An interview with the regional director of NEQSOL

Azerbaijani NEQSOL Holding is one of the largest foreign investors in Ukraine. During the years of the full-scale war, Vodafone alone, which is part of the group, has allocated UAH 20 billion for capital expenditures. In 2024, the holding acquired the United Mining and Chemical Company (UMCC Titanium) for UAH 4 billion and plans to invest over UAH 400 million in its modernization.

Investments are not easy: Vodafone's net profit last year fell by a third due to increased costs to overcome the consequences of Russian aggression. The titanium business – UMCC – is only preparing for modernization: it is auditing assets, assessing ore reserves, and forming a new management team.

NEQSOL's strategy, plans for entering global titanium markets, and business management in a wartime economy – in an interview. LIGA.net said the regional director of NEQSOL Holding Ukraine Volodymyr Lavrenchuk.
