The main products of the harvesting units are a wide range of coniferous and foliaceous saw logs, veener logs, coniferous and foliaceous pulpwood. We deliver our products to various destinations such as the Baltic countries, Western Europe, Scandinavia and domestically to the largest users in Russia.
