LLC "Interphil" is the sole representative in Ukraine of the international holding Fareva Group, one of the world's leaders in the household, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Since 2021, the company has been a member of the European Business Association. Located in Uzhhorod on an area of 22,000 square meters, "Interphil" continues to operate despite all challenges. Oleg Adamchuk, the head of the company, shares the history of the company and its achievements.
3 "We have been in operation since 1993. At that time, we launched our first brand — the laundry detergent 'Universal M'. In 1999, we expanded our activities by creating a joint venture with Henkel, a global leader in household chemicals. In 2005, we established the joint venture 'Interphil' together with Fareva Group. This allowed us to attract new partners such as Colgate, Bourjois, L'Oréal, Beiersdorf, Palmolive, Adidas, and others. Currently, our largest customer is Unilever. More than 2000 product items from Unilever sold in Ukraine are manufactured by us," — notes Oleg Adamchuk.
"Interphil" is actively implementing environmental solutions. "We are working on producing packaging from recycled materials. All bottles that we manufacture during daylight hours are created exclusively using solar energy," — emphasizes the head of the company.
4 Collaboration with the Tolk Group of Companies is built on trust and reliability. "Tolk provides excellent service. We receive stable electricity and pay for it on time. Despite the reduction in consumption volumes during the war years, we are adapting to new conditions," — shares Oleg Adamchuk.
The war has significantly impacted the company's operations. "Many of our employees voluntarily took up arms to defend the country. We temporarily suspended our operations, but thanks to the support of the Transcarpathian military administration, we resumed work after three months. Unfortunately, the war has claimed the lives of two of our employees, two others were injured, and one is missing," — recounts the head of the company.
5 "Interphil" is also actively involved in charity work. "We organized a free shelter for displaced persons in the administrative building of another of our enterprises. During the toughest times, up to 280 people lived here, including 65 children. Currently, there are 120 displaced persons remaining, but we continue to assist them."
6 Product quality is one of the company's key priorities. "We must fully meet the requirements of our customers. We have a special 'product library' where reference samples of each batch are stored for three years. This helps us avoid mistakes," — notes Oleg Adamchuk.
The level of process control in production is very high, in accordance with the requirements of international auditors.
"Ten years ago, we had an interesting case," recalls the head, "A very respected company from the UK conducted an audit with us regarding placing their production here.
We prepared thoroughly, checking everything three times. But the auditor said she found one flaw. I asked — what is it? She said, I saw a girl on the line wearing earrings. It turned out she had taken a selfie...
We learn from such examples and gain experience."
7 When asked about the future of the company, Oleg Adamchuk responds optimistically: "I hope that scientific advancements will change the chemical industry. Perhaps one day, a single tablet will be enough for a bath. We are ready to be part of these changes."
8 "Interphil" demonstrates resilience and innovation in the most challenging conditions, making a significant contribution to the development of the Ukrainian economy.
