What Bayadera Group does
Bayadera Group is one of the largest alcohol holdings in Eastern Europe and the leader of Ukraine's alcohol industry, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Kyiv with approximately 3,500 employees across 27 distribution branches. The company operates three owned production facilities — National Vodka Company in Cherkasy region (capacity over 150 million bottles per year, holding 18 production patents including Patent 102827 for the HLIBNY DAR Aged Mildness method), KOBLEVO Winery (vineyards on the 46th parallel, 15+ grape varieties), and Mykolaiv Brandy Factory — combined with ISO 9001 and ISO 22000-certified quality systems and a proprietary in-house laboratory. It controls a portfolio of 30+ proprietary alcohol brands led by HLIBNY DAR (ranked TOP-3 global vodka by Drinks International's Millionaires' Club 2026), KOBLEVO, KOZATSKA RADA, Celsium, ALIKO, and MARENGO Italy, while serving as the exclusive Ukrainian importer and distributor of major global houses including Diageo (19-year exclusive), Moët Hennessy, Rémy Cointreau, and Mast-Jägermeister.
Bayadera runs a multi-channel go-to-market: a 27-branch national wholesale network split between Bayadera Logistic (own brands) and Bayadera Elite (imports); field sales for major retail chains and HoReCa accounts; a B2B portal (b2b.bayadera.ua); a branded direct-to-consumer e-commerce shop (bayadera.ua); and physical retail via 8 Wine Wine warehouse stores and BAYADERA.UA liquor stores. Internationally, the company exports Ukrainian spirits to 33 countries, with HLIBNY DAR present in 45 countries and dedicated USA offices across New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Colorado. In 2025, holding revenue reached 14.6 billion UAH (up from 12.7 billion UAH in 2024), with the import division (Bayadera Elite) contributing 6.0 billion UAH (41% of total). The company holds 35% of the Ukrainian vodka market and a TOP-2 vodka export position with 23% share.
Revenue mechanics are anchored in branded production-and-distribution (own brands) and exclusive import-distribution of premium global spirits, supplemented by retail margins from Wine Wine and BAYADERA.UA stores, B2B/B2C e-commerce, and export sales. Customer segments span individual consumers, retail trade, HoReCa, and international markets, while upstream supply is concentrated in a handful of long-tenured global principal partnerships (Diageo, LVMH, Rémy Cointreau, Jägermeister). Management is led by CEO Anatoliy Korchynskyi, with division CEO Vitaliy Pichkur at Bayadera Elite, HR Director Anna Mazurenko, and PMO Head Iryna Yablonska. The holding is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and operates across three core business units — Bayadera Logistic, Bayadera Elite, and Bayadera Export.
