SEGEZHA PULP AND PAPER MILL

The open joint-stock company "Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill" is the biggest Russian producer of kraft paper and paper bags. The holding company comprises six logging enterprises and the timber-processing plant JSC "LDK Segezha".

The mill was founded in 1939 in close proximity to the highway and railway Leningrad – Murmansk and the White Sea – Baltic Canal.

Today the company is one of the leaders in the timber-industrial complex of Russia. The mill has undergone several cycles of modernization and reconstruction. As a result it has installed capacities capable of producing up to 400,000 tons of pulp, up to 330,000 tons of bag paper, and over 300 million bags a year. In 2002 the Segezha PPM became the first mill in Russia to produce the paper of special strength properties – microcrepe paper. A new universal line for producing bags, also assembled in 2002, allows to make bags, which are not inferior to imported ones in terms of quality and design.

The level of management was highly appreciated too. At the First All-Russian Contest "Anti-crisis Manager-2000" held by the Federal Agency of the Russian Federation for financial recovery and bankruptcy general director of the mill Vasily Preminin was declared the best Russian manager.
