«Кілька днів тому на наше виробництво в Харкові стався приліт прямо в наш цех. На превеликий жаль, у нас є загиблі, є багато поранених. Постраждали люди з нашої команди, керівництво, працівники виробництва» (A few days ago, a projectile hit our production facility in Kharkiv, landing directly in our workshop. Regrettably, we have fatalities and many injured. People from our team, management, and production staff were affected), the brand's message reads.

Condition of the injured and scale of losses

According to the company, numerous employees are currently receiving treatment in medical facilities. The team is scattered, with its members trying to overcome the shock of the tragedy, finding out what happened to their colleagues, and seeking answers regarding their future existence in the new realities.

«Ми втратили майже все, що мали на виробництві. І поки навіть не можемо точно сказати, скільки товару знищено, що вдалося зберегти та в якому стані залишився наш цех» (We have lost almost everything we had at the production site. And for now, we cannot even say exactly how much stock was destroyed, what was saved, and what condition our workshop is in), the statement added.

Communication with clients and future plans

MANGELO representatives emphasised that all issues concerning existing orders, financial settlements, and refunds would be resolved. Clients would be sent those orders that could be fulfilled, and full refunds would be issued for unfulfilled items.

Despite the losses suffered, the brand's team confirmed that it does not intend to cease its operations. MANGELO plans to begin restoring production processes, return to full-scale work, and continue the company's development.

«Ми ще не знаємо, скільки часу нам знадобиться. Не знаємо, наскільки складним буде шлях до відновлення. Але точно знаємо одне: ми повернемося» (We do not yet know how much time it will take. We do not know how difficult the path to recovery will be. But we know one thing for sure: we will return), the official statement noted.
