Pankaboard focuses on Russian customers

Aug 29, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Pankaboard mill’s proximity combined with flexible customer service lead to cost-efficient logistics for Russian customers and demonstrate a strategic focus on cross-border trade. With Pankaboard’s proximity to the Russian border only 25 km away, there are advantages in terms of cost efficient logistics and sustainable transports. In fact, St. Petersburg is as close to the mill as Helsinki, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

“Customers appreciate our flexible service and delivery options (FCA), which lets them pick up products directly from the mill,” says Vice President Christer Nordman. “We see and treat Russia as our home market, and we feel mentally connected to the Russian people.”

Thanks to this cross-border cooperation and these strategically important customers, Pankaboard has increased its focus on Russia. Since 2012 Pankaboard has been working with sales representative BOCO in Russia, with offices in Moscow and St Petersburg.
