*As of October 2016, Corum Druzhkovka Heavy Engineering Plant operates as normal. The plant has not been damaged by the hostilities in Donbas and therefore we provide no detailed information about them here.
Employees
With the rising tension in Donbas Corum has always responded quickly to any changes in the situation as safety of people is of the utmost importance. As the situation aggravated making it impossible to continue operations in Donetsk and Horlivka, the company organized offices and production sites in Kryvyi Rih, Kharkiv and Druzhkivka using production premises of its local plants. In August 2014, Corum launched its headquarters in Kyiv. It also helped the staff and their families to move to new locations and covered their accommodation costs.
