Experience and competencies

We have the project management team that has worked at Kaduysky Plywood Mill for many years. It has accumulated extensive experience
in production and personnel management, as well as has great potential to solve problems of introducing new technologies and improving
production processes.

Since 2010, Kaduysky Plywood Mill LLC (which was part of our group of companies) has increased the production of finished plywood of the
FC and FSF brands, in the 1525×1525 mm format from 12,000 m3 to 43,000 m3 of plywood per year.

We initiated and carried out a large-scale reconstruction of the production process. Completely new production lines of branded equipment
manufacturers FEZER, TAKAYAMA, HASHIMOTO, KOSTA, BARUCCA, etc. have been put into operation. Automation of production processes has
also been implemented (automatic veneer sorting line, automatic plywood sorting line, automatic veneer filling line, etc.). All obligations for
payments for the supplied services and equipment were fulfilled in full.

We have created new jobs with decent wages, all social benefits and guarantees.

We have provided continuous staff training and professional development, as well as improving the quality of the company’s service.

The company, during its work, has acquired a stable and expanding customer base. During the period of its activity, well-known large
wholesale companies of domestic and export markets have become our permanent business partners. Shipments of manufactured products
were oriented and exported to Italy, Germany, Finland, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, Egypt, China, the USA. Our products
have proven themselves to be the best and have occupied their part of the export and domestic plywood market.
