On the 14th of September, 1638, the Council of Managers of Galych have passed to masters from Tysmenytsia a copy of royal regulations, allowing organization of furiers’ workshop. Though they have been dressing skins and garmentizing them in Tysmenytsia longer ago...
Tysmenytsia Fur Company is one of the oldest enterprises, traces its origins back to a loose federation of craftsmen, which is situated near Carpathian Mountains in western part of Ukraine. That area had endured many pendulum-style socio-economic changes. But from the first steps of its development in Tysmenytsia, using Magdeburg’s right, fur garments with Tysmenytsia label were shown in London, Dresden, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and in other cities of Europe. Being out of state section of economy, Tysmenytsia Fur Company became a single enterprise of former Soviet Union which represented its collection of garments at the International Fur Fair in Frankfurt/Main in April 1993. This event became a basis for further integration in world economy. So the enterprise was represented by an International furiers’ magazine “Sandy Parker Reports” to mark the occasion of that event.

Today the company is vertical closed structure which provides dressing and dyeing for 10 million Rabbit, Mink, Nutria, Fox and Polar Fox, Muskrat, Astrakhan and Sheep skins, garmentizing them into nearly 3 million hats of so-called “Russian” and other styles for men, ladies and children. It also manufactures coats, short coats, jackets, and fur lined garments, operating machinery and applying chemicals mainly from well-known western firms like Strobl, Balconi, Bonis, Stockhausen, Clariant and others.

On conditions of transition to market relations Tysmenytsia Fur Company has greatly increased its production assortment with the use of such kinds of fur, which was never manufactured in Ukraine before. Sheep skins processing traditions and garmentizing skins into high-quality products were renewed. For further expansion of production capacity, Ukrainian-Dutch joint-venture “Tykafurlux” was founded, which also actively enters foreign market. Ukrainian party instalment share is valued to about 49 per cent of its statutory fund. Among the foreign investors there are well-known German companies (first of all - “Rosenberg & Lenhart”)

Tysmenytsia Fur Company not only remains a reliable partner in dressing and dyeing of furs for many enterprises in the former Soviet Union. It is also gets and fulfils more orders for processing of different kinds of fur for the new partners in Germany, USA, Canada, Sweden, Slovakia, Chekhia, Moldova, Poland and other countries.

Using its own possibilities of modern design Tysmenytsia Fur Company was awarded with some prizes at International exhibitions in Brussels (1965) and Munich (1967). Every year it had medals and diplomas for the best design at the fur Congresses of the former socialist countries’ enterprises. Because of its constant participation at the Frankfurt International Fair, on this German city’s fairground among the flags of participating states, a banner of independent Ukraine is also flapping.

Tysmenytsia Fur Company is awarded with the following International awards: “For the best Trade Name” (Madrid Trade Leaders’ Club, Spain, 1994, 1995, 1996), “For Commercial Prestige and the Best Trade Name” (Association of Businessmen and marketing specialists of America and Europe, Mexico, 1994,1996). The world-wide recognition was confirmed by the prestigious mark of “American People Ambassador Programme”, called “Torch of Birmingham” within the limits of International Project “For succesful economic survival on conditions of social and economic crisis” together with the memorable autographed photo and appeal of the US President Bill Clinton (1995), by Arch of Europe “Gold Star” (Spain, 1996) and the 10th European award for quality (France, 1996). Three new International awards, including the second Gold Star for Quality were granted to the fur company in 1997 also, which marked symbolically its 360th year of development. But with a special feeling of pride and responsibility the collective body perceived inclusion of the fur company to the list of awardees, taking into account State inspection’s results in connection with the celebration of “European week of quality” in Ukraine.
