Investing is not spending

2015 has become the year of the second birth of Uvadrev Holding: the company has launched a big up-to-date chipboard factory.

For the first time in its history, Uvadrev Holding’s founders made a decision to make such big investments in production development — more than 4 billion rubles.

“We did not choose out-dated machinery, dismantled and brought from other countries, but a completely new up-to-date extruding machine Contiro by Siempelkamp. As a result we got an absolutely new independent factory with a complete production cycle. I think that today this is the most up-to-date factory in Russia, constructed without foreign capital, Vladimir Voronov, Technical Director of Uvadrev Holding, comments.

Since the launch of the factory in a test regime, German specialists were teaching engineers, operators, mechanics how to work on the new line. So by the time the factory started its work, Uvadrev’s specialists were familiar with all minor details of German machinery.

“As a result, in about a couple of months after the launch we did not only reach the rated capacity, but also surpassed it. Today we are capable of producing 315 thousand cubic metres of chipboard a year on equipment designed to produce 300 thousand cubic metres.”

If all quality characteristics are improved, net cost of boards, manufactured on new equipment, is 10% lower, than on the line, which was set up 23 years ago.

Now the company’s portfolio includes technologies, allowing to produce chipboard with increased oil— andwater-resistance, high gloss, resistance to micro-scratches and abrasion. Research on introduction of technological means of lowering the class of emission of formaldehyde is constantly underway.

We are confident that furniture production will be increasing demand for high-quality chipboard with high aesthetic and physic-mechanic properties. Our holding is producing exactly this sort of product right now. This is evident in the latest event: boards, manufactured by our factory, made it to the list of top-100 best goods in Russia.”
