Dec 10, 2012. /Lesprom Network/. Walki Group has opened a new sales office in Moscow, Russia, in a bid to gain stronger foothold in fast-growing Russian and CIS markets, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. “Opening a local sales office in Russia was a decisive step for us in building an even closer partnership with our key customers in Russia and other CIS countries. It also shows our long-term commitment towards growth in the region,” says Walki Group’s CEO Leif Frilund. “Opening of a new sales office in Russia was a natural step for us especially as the Group already opened a new manufacturing facility in the town of Svetogorsk, last May,” says Sales and Marketing Manager Artur Hytti, who is responsible for Russia and CIS countries. The Walki Group is an international company, which produces wrappings for the paper and metal industries.
