Merefa Glass Company Ltd. used to be a leading enterprise producing glassware in Eastern Ukraine. Its estimated capacity was up to 300 mln colorless glass bottles of various sizes and shapes per year. At the same time, the plant was of profound significance for the town of Merefa as the major budget revenue generating enterprise.

When Merefa Glass Company was part of DCH, it continually introduced advanced technologies and improved its manufacturing processes in accordance with international standards. From 2006 to 2008, the enterprise was completely upgraded and expanded its capacity. Basically, a new plant was built with the support and on the basis of the technologies provided by HEYE International, a German company.

Currently, the enterprise has ceased operating. Before that, it belonged to Sisecam Group (Turkey), which acquired Merefa Glass Company from DCH beneficiary Oleksandr Yaroslavsky in February 2011.
