But in 1993 adoption of Legislative Acts of Tax Remissions for foreign investors gave an opportunity for reorganization into Ukrainian-American Joint Venture with the division of rights with Corporation "Malf Enterprises Inc.", being created and acting as per Laws of State New York, USA.
  • Specializing in rendering of transport-forwarding services, our company was one of the first private enterprises, who replaced the so-called "TEK" (Transport-forwarding office) on the market.
    Relying on professionalism and experience of our personnel, we could suggest sufficient quantity of services on profitable terms and made it possible to withstand market competition with state enterprises. In 1993 our possibilities gained "Ukrvneshprom"'s attention - one of the largest enterprises in Ukraine and then the others representatives of private and state economy's sectors, including Association "Ukragrotechservice". Co-operation with such giants stimulated us to reveal spare capacities, to find out new fields of application of efforts. Our strivings for success in severe market terms have specified strategy for creaion of stable business connections with thorougly selected partners: stevedores, bulk traders, transport companies, custom-house and all those who is practically related to fulfilment of constructual obligations in delivery of cargo and handling operations. In the result of concluded agreements, we have at our disposal basis for rendering of services and removing of transport problems of our customers, irrespective of their competence in the question of cargo transportation.
