What Silence does
Silence (ТОВ "Сайленс") is a privately held Ukrainian limited liability company founded in 1995 and headquartered at vulytsia Avtozavodska, 18, Kyiv (EDRPOU 22954177). The company operates as a distributor and systems integrator of industrial food processing equipment, sourcing machinery from international manufacturers across Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Taiwan, and China — including ANKO (Taiwan) and the Harbin State Mechanical Plant (China, partner since 1998). It holds official ANKO distributor status in Ukraine and maintains warehouse stock in Kyiv to enable rapid fulfillment.
Its product portfolio spans seven verticals: bakery and confectionery equipment, meat processing equipment, semi-finished product manufacturing systems (notably the JGL-120-5B and ANKO HLT-700XL dumpling machines plus La Monferrina crepe machines), fish processing lines, canning equipment (e.g., KAV vertical autoclaves), dairy processing equipment (cheese vats, HM/FBD/ODMEZ homogenizers, ИПКС-013 pasteurizers, ММ-5 milk reception units), and auxiliary equipment such as KRONEN vegetable processing machines, GEWA washers, refrigeration, and packaging lines. The company also offers an in-house JGL-120-5B modernization service retrofitting Chinese dumpling machines with electronic speed control and voltage adaptation.
Silence's business model is a sales-led, direct equipment distribution model: dedicated sales departments handle bakery/confectionery, meat processing, and semi-finished product categories via separate phone lines; revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales (unit pricing, e.g., €12,800 for the ИПКС-013 pasteurization set, €6,500 for the ММ-5 milk reception unit) complemented by professional services for installation, commissioning, warranty and post-warranty maintenance, spare parts, subscription service agreements, and hot-line support. Customers are Ukrainian food processing SMBs across the country, with the Ukrainian Armed Forces added as a government procurement customer via Prozorro tenders during 2022-2025. The company has no disclosed subsidiaries, no identified external investors, and no public revenue disclosure.
