SESU searches, rebranding and bankruptcy: how the Suprunenko brothers are trying to save Brovary Aluminum Plant

The former Brovary Aluminum Plant changed its address and name in three months and ended up in bankruptcy proceedings. The creditor who initiated this process has a manager from the same business orbit as the Suprunenko brothers.

All of this is happening against the backdrop of July BIS searches.

5 in June, a week after the address change, insolvency practitioner Ihor Harashchenko filed a petition to participate in the future case. 4 In August, LLC Vermont Invest filed a petition to open proceedings in the case of the insolvent ProkhimtReid. The next day the document was sent to the court, and 13 in August it was admitted for consideration. The creditor debt in the case materials exceeds 9 million UAH. The court did not record debts for taxes, fees, and wages.

Since May 2025 year the head of Vermont Invest has been Mykhailo Pirotskyi. He is also the beneficiary of LLC Budpromekspluatatsiia, which analytical systems classify as part of the Suprunenko corporate group. The sole participant of the debtor is the Cypriot company ALUMETA LTD (100). Kyiv City Council deputy Roman Yaroshenko declared rights in another Cypriot structure — ALUMETA GROUP LTD. Both companies are registered in Limassol.

The metalworking site in Brovary belongs to LLC BRAS and LLC ALTEG. In both companies the ultimate beneficiary is Yaroshenko. The co-owner of BRAS is Viacheslav Suprunenko. Thus, the bankruptcy is initiated by a company whose director is in the same business orbit as the debtor.

At the beginning of July 2026 year, the BEE conducted searches at the plants of ALTEG and BRAS for two days. Ekonomichna Pravda, citing sources, named among the likely organizers Yaroshenko, former deputy Andriy Zaitsev, Viacheslav and Oleksandr Suprunenko. According to the same data, the network could have been used for fictitious operations, the trade of unaccounted scrap, and withdrawal of funds through Asvio Bank. The estimated losses to the budget from understated taxes exceed 32,4 million UAH. In other publications about the same searches, 8,9 million UAH of property tax, 23,5 million UAH of VAT, 39 million UAH of unaccounted scrap, and 286 million UAH of other goods without accounting are mentioned.

The connection between the tax proceedings and the bankruptcy of ProkhimtReid is not confirmed by documents. However, the timing is evident: searches, address change, renaming, a claim by a “new” creditor, and transfer of the case to another court. The question remains open: where did the company acquire a debt of 9 million UAH if court materials show it has no debt to the budget either for taxes or wages.
