An investor from the Republic of Karelia will be presented with sites for the construction of a plywood factory

The visit of the Segezha Group delegation (part of AFK Sistema) to the Omsk Region began today. Investors have launched a major project with an investment capacity of about 20 billion rubles.

Recall that on June 4, within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Omsk Region Governor Alexander Burkov and Segezha Group President Mikhail Shamolin signed an agreement on readiness to build a modern plywood mill in the region. The investment project is being supported by the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.

At least 650 new jobs will be created for local residents. It will be an advanced industrial complex for the most complete wood processing, built on the principle of a closed production cycle, with a minimum level of environmental stress.

"There are 7 similar enterprises in Russia. There are no such plants in the Siberian Federal District. The Omsk region has been chosen as the site for the project, as we have the necessary raw materials for the production of this type of plywood. The investor declares good economic indicators of the project. In addition, the products are focused on import substitution, as well as on export, which corresponds to our guidelines for the development of the economy and industry," said Alexander Burkov, the head of the region.

As part of the business program of the visit, the delegation will visit two municipal districts of the Omsk region: Lyubinsky and Tarsky, where it is planned to select sites for the construction of a plywood factory and a shipping terminal.

The delegation included representatives of Segezha Group, Minister of Industry, Communications, Digital and Scientific and Technical Development of the Omsk Region Andrey Posazhennikov, Director General of the Regional Agency for Development and Investment Evgeny Kovtun, Head of the Main Forestry Department of the Omsk Region Sergey Maksimov, head of the Lyubinsky municipal district Abai Rakimzhanov, head of the Tarsky Municipal District Evgeny Lysakov.
