Royal Smit & Zoon has supported the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design (KNUTD) with renovating their educational scientific laboratory “Expertise in Leather & Fur”. The renovation was well on his way until the war started. Due to financial restrictions it was not possible to finish the renovation. One of the things that was left to do was to equip the laboratory with furniture. For this, the University reached out to Royal Smit & Zoon because of our good relationship, also with the tanneries that work with the University. We are grateful to have been able to assist the university in these challenging times and to contribute to the education process in Ukraine. The updated laboratory is now open for classes. Your participation in such an important matter has deeply impacted our University. This drop made a real difference for us. Thank you for your support, our students have an opportunity to study, acquire a profession and lay a solid foundation for the recovery and development of Ukraine after the war.
