Net revenue from goods in 2015 amounted to 12.6 billion hryvnia.

In its turn, the system for monitoring payments saved 130 million hryvnia, while 1.2 billion hryvnia per month were saved by setting up efficient logistics systems.

Nearly 4,000 units of new and upgraded equipment were manufactured and delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is 36 times more than last year.
