Happy Machine Builder’s Day to the KZVV team!

The greatest appreciation for engineers is when the machines they build prove their value in the field every single day.

Right now, three Germina machines are operating with UDS teams in Chornobaivka. That is 30,000 square meters of mechanical soil cultivation per shift for each machine. These are not just specs on paper — this is our real-world result in the field.

According to data verified through our operations, Germina is the most productive mechanical demining machine in the world. And it was developed by Ukrainian designers, engineers, and manufacturers at the Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Building Plant (KZVV).

Our field experience also proves its resilience: even after anti-tank mine blasts, the machine remains operational and continues its work. Yet the true value of this technology is not measured in square meters. It is measured in the human lives it helps protect.

Colleagues, behind every single shift we run are your calculations, design solutions, manufacturing precision, and dedication. You build the machines that help us clear Ukrainian land and bring it back to life.

On behalf of the entire UDS team, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the design engineers, technical specialists, production crews, management, and owners of KZVV. We are truly proud of our partnership!

We wish you successful projects, good health to you and your families, and peace to Ukraine. And a swift return home to Ukrainian Kramatorsk — a city of engineers, innovators, and machine builders.

May you continue creating anew at home. And may your machinery serve to protect human life for many years to come.
