Danone Ukraine, one of the largest dairy producers in Ukraine, is intending by November 2013 to invest UAH 15 million in the construction of a distribution center in Kherson.

According to the company, the distribution center will be located on the territory of Danone Dnipro plant in Kherson.

The company plans to launch the center in November and use it to store products from all its three plants and distribute to outlets in the southern region in special vehicles equipped with refrigerators.

Danone Group is the world's leader in dairy production. It has been operating in Ukraine since 1998.

In 2006, the company acquired Rodych dairy in Kherson, which was upgraded and renamed as Danone Dnipro. The company currently produces about 50% of Danone products.

In 2011, as a result of merger of Danone and Unimilk, its assets included Kyiv-based Galacton municipal dairy factory and Kremenchuk-based Kremez dairy factory.
