Industrial assets age in three different ways at once: physical wear from operation, functional obsolescence against modern equivalents, and economic obsolescence driven by the market for the plant's output. A defensible manufacturing valuation accounts for all three — and reconciles the cost of the asset base with the income the complex actually earns. The Kanzas company provides independent valuation of manufacturing and industrial businesses in Ukraine, from a single production line to an integral property complex. Reports follow the International Valuation Standards (IVS); the team includes RICS- and TEGoVA (REV)-certified valuers.
Manufacturing company valuation
We value manufacturing businesses for lending — including syndicated facilities where several banks rely on the same report — for privatisation and state property transactions, for sale and acquisition, and for financial reporting under IFRS, including full fixed-asset revaluations covering thousands of inventory positions.
Track record across heavy industry
The practice spans steel plants valued for syndicated lending, mining and ore-processing plants valued for financing, coal-mine equipment, and chemical and pulp-and-paper enterprises. We have valued production enterprises for privatisation on behalf of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, sugar refineries across Ukrainian regions, woodworking plants for lending and sale, and quarries producing crushed stone, granite, sand and clay — including a brick plant valued together with its clay quarry. A cross-cutting line of work is machinery: production lines, machine tools and special equipment valued for accounting and lending purposes across industries. Among intangibles — trademarks of a beverage manufacturer.
Cross-border engagements
The practice includes the valuation of corporate rights in a Ukrainian packaging manufacturer contributed to the charter capital of a newly established US company, with the report submitted to the US tax authorities. For clients outside Ukraine we provide business and asset valuation in line with IVS, within the scope our RICS and TEGoVA credentials permit without country-specific licensing.
Frequently asked questions
How is a quarry or mining asset valued? As an extractive business: the subsoil-use permit, reserve volume and quality, equipment, infrastructure and the cash flows of extraction.
What does a fixed-asset revaluation involve? Bringing book values to fair value for IFRS or local accounting — for large plants, thousands of positions under an agreed work schedule.
Why does syndicated lending require an independent valuation? Every bank in the syndicate relies on the same report, so the bar for defensibility is at its highest. An independent valuer prepared to defend the conclusion before all lenders is a condition of such deals.
Do you assess technical condition or industrial safety? No — condition informs our depreciation analysis, but diagnostics and safety expertise belong to engineering specialists. We determine value.
Industrial valuations always involve large numbers and many parties reading the same report — banks, auditors, the state, investors. Write to us by email or messenger, describe your task, and we will respond with a clear scope, timeline and fee proposal.
