Kastamonu, the leading manufacturer of the Russian wood processing industry, has unveiled the plans to open a particleboard production in Tatarstan, Russia. The opening of the particleboard line will bring the company’s total investment in the region to $1 billion.
“For our company, particleboard is a completely new material in the product portfolio on the Russian market. This is a new niche, new challenges and new objectives. We are grateful to the leadership of the Republic of Tatarstan and the management of the Alabuga SEZ for their support, trust, the opportunity to develop and work in this beautiful region,” said Ali Kilic, CEO of Kastamonu Russia.
