Kompozit

What Kompozit does

Kompozit is a private, family-owned Ukrainian manufacturer of paints, coatings, and artistic materials, founded in 1995 in Kyiv and operated as a sole proprietorship (ФОП Остапенко О.І.) by Oleksandr Ihorovych Ostapenko. The company began in-house production in 2001, transitioning from trading to manufacturing, and today operates across two principal lines: a construction and industrial coatings range (water-dispersion interior and facade paints, enamels, primers, epoxy systems including EpoxyBeton and CRYSTAL, lacquers, wood protection, plasters) and an artistic materials line under the ART Kompozit sub-brand (acrylic, gouache, fabric, structural pastes, canvases, brushes). Proprietary formulations are developed in the company's own laboratory with technology support from international chemical industry partners.

The business serves a horizontally segmented customer base: building companies, regional construction-materials distributors, four major construction hypermarket chains (Epicenter, Nova Liniia, Oldi, Anzhio), private and state enterprises, kindergartens and schools, and individual consumers and artists. Go-to-market combines direct e-commerce through kompozit.ua with Nova Poshta nationwide delivery (48–72 hours), physical warehouse/store pickup in Kyiv and Kharkiv, hypermarket shelf distribution, and wholly-owned sales entities in Slovakia (Kompozit Europe s.r.o.) and the USA (Kompozit LLC, Deerfield Beach, FL). Pricing is unit-based in Ukrainian Hryvnia with VAT included, spanning 35 UAH entry-level artistic tubes to 8,300 UAH professional paint sets and 1,816 UAH premium construction paints, with custom-tinted colors made to order and non-returnable.

The product cadence through 2024–2026 has been active, with launches including the STANDART and Acryl PRO artistic acrylic series, CRYSTAL epoxy resin, EpoxyBeton repositioning for industrial use, SUPERMATT NEO and ULTRAMATT NEO premium interior paints, VelvetBase primer, Universal antiseptic W6, marble crumbs M-130, and color extensions under COLORTEX and ELIT polyurethane lines. The company holds eight registered trademarks, maintains active membership in the Association of Ukrainian Paint Industry Manufacturers and Technical Committee TK 168, and continues to invest in multi-channel marketing including seminars, industry exhibitions, social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, Viber), and email. No external investment, private equity, or parent-company ownership is disclosed; the company describes itself as financially independent.
