Khim Prom (Ukrainian: Хим-Пром; Russian: Хим-Пром), is a chemical factory located in Kharkiv Oblast about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the city of Pervomaiskyi, Ukraine. It was once one of the largest chemical factories in Europe.

History

The factory was established in 1978. After the collapse of the Soviet Union the factory worked with a minimum load, resulting in idle equipment, and at last it saw bankruptcy. Since late 2006, the factory was ready to be sold off by the government. In 2009 PVC-Himprom Ltd got the rights for this plant as a private factory. Before 2007 PVC Khimprom used this plant via lease from the Ukrainian government.
