KYIV, Aug 21 - KTD Group, which produces household appliances in Ukraine under the trademarks Saturn, ST and Laretti, intends by the end of this year to launch production of refrigerators with the plan to bring it to the capacity of about 300,000 units, the company said.

"The timing of the launch is still slightly shifting (it was planned to open the plant in the spring of this year), but this is due to the need to finalize the model range according to the latest trends of the European market," KTD Group told Interfax-Ukraine.
