NIBULON

[4] In 1991, the joint venture of the Mykolaiv businessman Oleksiy Vadaturskyy, the Hungarian and British firms KOMBISEED KFT and Meridian Commodities Ltd, were created.

On 15 December 2004, World Bank report (IBRD, one of its divisions) stated that each dollar invested in a NIBULON credit line generated $4–5.

[11] In 2007, Vadaturskyy was awarded the Hero of Ukraine, the country's highest honour, for his role in the development of the Ukrainian agricultural industry.

The vessel was built by the order of NIBULON, and it was the largest floating transshipment crane in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Basins.

[19] In December 2016, the European Investment Bank and NIBULON signed a €71 million loan agreement to develop and modernize the logistics infrastructure of Ukraine.

[21][22] In 2017, the company inaugurated its Khortytsia branch in Bilenke, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, with the participation of the Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.

[25] In 2018 it was announced that the company was involved in a construction project of new deep water seaport in Kherson Oblast, Dnieper-Buh Estuary.

[26] In 2018, the EBRD and NIBULON signed a $50 million loan agreement to continue the implementation of the national project to revive cargo transportation on the Dnipro and the Southern Buh and to develop grain logistics.

[33] The company officially put into operation a 140-metre NIBULON MAX river-sea floating vessel, the longest one built for the past 25 years of Ukraine's independence.

[34] In 2020, NIBULON put into operation its new high-tech Zelenodolska branch transshipment terminal in Marianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, making it the company's first facility in the region.

[12] In the wake of the bombing, Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said Vadaturskyy was specifically targeted as one of Ukraine's wealthiest businessmen.

[38] In June 2022, the construction of a new river transshipment terminal for its Bessarabska branch began in Izmail, with the completion of the first phase announced in October.

[42] The company's main trading activity is focused on wheat, corn, barley, and sorghum, the majority of which is exported to the European Union, the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia.

[43] On 6 December 2017, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and NIBULON signed a memorandum of understanding to focus on improving the efficiency of Egyptian companies involved in grain production, storage, and transportation.

The company's modern fleet efficiently transports grain, watermelons and melons, metal, building materials (sand, piles, etc.

[46] In 2023, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Economic Resilience Activity purchased 50 new hopper wagons for NIBULON.

[38] The facilities are located in the areas of large grain production to reduce the distance to transport agricultural commodities from fields to elevators.

[52] The terminal has modern complexes to receive, ship, dry, and treat grain, plus a warehouse of floor storage with active ventilation and a capacity of 8,000 tons.

In 2024, NIBULON invested up to $20 million to purchase modern agricultural machinery from multiple companies, including CLAAS, HORSHCH, HARDI, and BEDNAR.

The company's deminers started a non-technical survey at the Snihurivska branch to return the land bank in Mykolaiv Oblast to economic use.

[64] NIBULON received grant funding from DEG Impulse gGmbH and purchased four GCS-200 demining machines[65][66] and a Volkswagen Crafter type B ambulance.

The quality of treatment means that the company can discharge treated return water into the pond or use it for technical needs (irrigation, road cleaning, etc.)

[72] In August 2018, NIBULON participated in the rescue operation and saved tens of thousands of so-iuy[clarification needed] mullet in the Molochnyi Estuary (Zaporizhzhia Oblast).

[75] NIBULON's agronomists take into account the peculiarities of the crops grown and the suitability of soil and climate zones during planting, to maximize their potential.

[78] Strip-till not only helps ensure high precision and efficiency in technological operations but also reduces fuel consumption, limits soil moisture evaporation, and prevents wind erosion.

The purpose of these agreements was to implement social and economic development programs, preserve and enrich the traditions of historical and cultural heritage, and maintain infrastructure.

[81] In Bilenke, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, NIBULON opened sewage treatment facilities with a capacity of 2,000 m3 (71,000 cu ft) per day, built and reconstructed at the company's expense.

All funds collected during registration were directed to the Center for Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
