How RDS Started
Early Days

Building Roads
But in the same year, they started investing in road construction. That's when they changed their name to "Rostdorstroy."
Becoming RDS
In 2019, the company got a shorter name: RDS. Even with a new name, they kept their main goal of building great roads.
International Projects
Since 2014, RDS has worked on projects outside Ukraine. They have helped fix roads in the Republic of Moldova. These projects were part of international efforts to improve roads.
Big Achievements
In 2020, RDS finished building a runway at the Odessa Airport. This is a very important part of an airport where planes take off and land. At the same time, they kept building highways in other parts of Ukraine. These areas include Cherkasy, Poltava, and Mykolayiv Oblasts. In April 2020, the company also bought a special machine called an asphalt plant. This helps them make materials for roads.
