Serhiy and Vitaliy Pirogov founded their own brand “Active Season”. Serhiy is a veteran.
He had been in the ATO since 2014, and now he is currently undergoing rehabilitation. Therefore, now his brother Vitaly runs their family business.
The brand works in Dnipro and produces goods that improve conditions for the military on the front line:
• air mattresses for relaxation – it can be quickly inflated in the trenches, and the material is flexible and strong;
• hermetic bags for personal belongings;
• soft buckets for a comfortable everyday life.
“Hermetic bag is a bag for things. It is waterproof and protects things from moisture, which is very important for the current conditions,” says Vitaliy Pyrogov, co-owner of the production.
Vitaliy, Serhiy and their team do everything on the conscience. Everything is checked to ensure that things are reliable and perform their functions: “We test the hair dryer and materials, at what temperature, which material is soldered. Some things can be glued, some can be soldered, we try the best options. For each material, we select our own fastening option,” shared Dmytro, an employee of the enterprise.
The received funds from the Ukrainian Veterans Foundation are planned to be spent in several areas:
• to increase the number of jobs;
• to expand production volumes;
• to develop new product models
The team has already purchased new equipment. Now they are testing materials.
