This opportunity was given to the students of classes 10 A and B, 11th gymnasium of our city. During the tour, the students met the owner of the company, Oleh Ivanovych Zakhorolskyi, visited the laboratory where they learned about color; they were at the production site where they saw how paint is poured, products are packaged, and also learned how paint containers are made and how finished products are delivered to consumers.
The owner of the company, Oleh Ivanovych Zakhorolskyi, addressed the students with a welcoming speech. He talked about the history of the company founded from scratch, highlighted the main components of a leader, and shared “secrets” of successful business management.

“20 years ago ZIP did not exist. Our company was founded from scratch in 1995 with a unique mission – to make life better for ourselves and for those who come into contact with the company, to create a world with our values, an environment where it is comfortable and you want to return again and again.”

In addition, Oleh Ivanovych gave “guidelines” for the future development of students’ professional and personal growth:

“You should always be on the move, learn to work in a team, take responsibility and do your work well every day.”

Students were also told what marketing is, what a trademark is, and the main components of a marketing strategy.

“Marketing is fishing, and a marketer is a fisherman who determines when the ‘fish’ is asleep, what ‘bait’ to offer, in what packaging, and through which channel to deliver it,” said Olena Lapina, head of ZIP’s marketing department.

In the laboratory, we learned what color is, how to test it, product viscosity and how to determine it, as well as saw equipment used for product testing.

“The viscosity of paint vividly characterizes its suitability for use and affects its properties – color saturation, coverage uniformity, and brightness. It should spread well but not drip,” said Natalia Vlasova, head of ZIP’s technology laboratory.

At the enterprise, students were shown how paint is poured, product packaging and storage where products are kept before shipment to retail outlets.

After inspecting the laboratory, production site and storage area where students learned what paint is and how color is created but had two remaining questions: What is paint poured into? And how is it delivered to consumers?
These questions were gladly answered by: director of LLC “Promzipaktiv,” Roman Shostak; and director of LLC “Etalon Pak,” Vadym Bunchuk.
