About Kyiv Stend
Kyiv Stend is a Ukrainian manufacturer of signs, nameplates, tactile Braille plates and information stands, in operation since 2007. Own production in Kyiv, delivery across the European Union. The catalogue covers over 2,500 models - from custom nameplates, information signs and prohibition signs to tactile Braille plates and consumer information corners. Products are manufactured to EN 17210:2021, ISO 7010:2019 and Directive (EU) 2019/882 - documentation available on request.
About the company
We started in 2007 in Kyiv as a workshop for made-to-order nameplates and signs. Over the years we grew into a production facility with our own equipment: UV flatbed printer, CO2 laser cutter, film plotter and CNC router. Everything is made in-house - no subcontracting, no intermediaries.
Since 2022 we have been shipping to EU clients directly. B2B customers in Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy come to us for three reasons: EN 17210 / ISO 7010 compliance out of the box, single-unit minimum without setup fees, and a stable Ukrainian production cost base that is materially lower than Western European workshops for the same quality of substrate and print.
The catalogue lists over 2,500 stock models. In practice, most orders are made to a specific brief: non-standard sizes, corporate colours (Pantone / RAL matching), bilingual layouts, custom pictogram sets.
