What ADEPT GROUP does

ADEPT GROUP is a privately held Ukrainian industrial engineering and construction company specializing in turnkey grain elevator construction for agricultural enterprises, port terminals, and oilseed processing facilities. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Odessa, Ukraine, the company operates through three internal divisions — ADEPT-PROEKT (engineering and design), ADEPT-COMPLEX (construction and assembly), and ADEPT-PROM SYSTEMS (equipment supply and metal structures) — delivering projects from feasibility through commissioning and after-sales service.

The company's core technology proposition rests on exclusive distribution agreements with three tier-1 Western OEMs: Behlen (USA) for grain silos, CFCAI Group (France) for LAW and Satig grain dryers, and Ag Growth International (AGI, Canada) for 12+ handling and storage brands. ADEPT supplements this channel position with proprietary components including a thermo-hanging grain temperature monitoring system described as having no analogues, an industrial automation system (ASU TP) built on Siemens equipment, and a Storm Seed Treater with 15 pre-programmed Bayer CropScience treatment recipes. Delivered project scale ranges from 20,000-ton facilities to 360,000-ton port transshipment complexes with throughput of 4.5 million tons per year.

The business model is project-based enterprise sales with multi-year contract cadence, pricing built individually around scope, capacity, and specifications. Revenue streams include turnkey construction services, equipment supply and installation, engineering and project consulting, and recurring after-sales service with original spare parts. Customers are large agricultural holdings, port terminals, and oil extraction plants primarily in Ukraine and CIS markets, with a documented roster including Delta Wilmar, RISOIL Terminal, Nika-Tera, Sodruzhestvo-Soya, and the Black Sea Trading Port Chornomorsk. The company does not disclose revenue and operates without external investors, keeping scale commentary tied to the 20+ projects completed over five years and headcount of 51-100 employees.
