The order includes machines for all main production processes to a new birch plywood and veneer mill: a log handling line, three peeling lines, a veneer drying and grading line, plywood layup and pressing line and a trimming line.

A service agreement for several years as well as extensive digital services are also included in the scope.

The production capacity of the green field mill will be 45,000 m3 of birch plywood and 60,000 m3 of birch veneer to be sold to other plywood and furniture makers. Production in the new mill is planned to start in 2023.

The ordered machinery and equipment will be delivered between August and November 2022. The equipment will be engineered and produced in Raute's production units in Lahti, Shanghai and Kajaani, and also in the company’s partnership network.

Red October group of companies is the largest sawn timber producing factory in the Perm region, Russia. Red October will expand its business in birch plywood and veneer production.
