Chinese citizen Ren Yongpeng purchased Center "Solar Crafts" LLC, which last year became the leader among private companies of Ukraine in terms of raw amber production. The deal was completed on November 5, 2024, when Ren Yongpeng's company, Lumos Plus LLC, became the sole shareholder of Solar Craft Center LLC.
Before that, from November 2, 2024, the company was headed by Fedir Gorban, who also holds the post of director of Lumos Plus. Previously, the company was under the control of Concord Consulting LLC, which is owned by the well-known businessman Ihor Mazepa, as well as Yuriy Blahodyr and Halyna Simkha. Mazepa owned 58% of the shares, Blagodyr - 32%, and Simha had 10%.
The amber quarry of the "Solar Craft" Center is located in the Rivne region, and has been providing high production rates for many years. However, changes in the management and ownership of the company may lead to new strategic decisions on the amber market in Ukraine.
It should be noted that after the sale of the company, Ihor Mazepa and Yurii Blahodyr retained control over another amber mining company with a similar name - "Sonyachne Remeslo" LLC (formerly known as "Sankamyan" LLC). The third member of this society is another Chinese citizen - Wang Zhikai.
It is expected that the procedure for updating the data on the final beneficial owner of the company "Solar Crafts Center" will be completed in the coming days, and new changes in the market may significantly affect the further development of amber mining and sales in Ukraine.
