Russian company CJSC Plyterra has awarded over €12million worth of orders to the Raute Corporation.  The goods are to be supplied to Plyterra’s Mordova mill, Umet, Zubovo-Polyanskiy in the first 3 months of 2020, with production of new lines starting in the summer. The orders include veneer drying and patching lines, machinery, equipment and plywood lay up and overlaying lines. 

Raute will engineer the equipment in their production units based in Nastola,  Kajaani, and their partnership network.   Plyterra’s investment will now mean that Raute’s annual capacity at the mill will rise to around 80,000m3.

The 2 companies have been working together since 2012, with Raute supplying Plyterra’s plywood production equipment and machinery which have been used in several projects including a veneer peeling line in 2018.  Raute also provides preventative maintenance for several of Plyterra’s production lines.
The scope of the Raute’s involvement in the industry indicates their level of expertise and they retain a firm presence in the Russian market.  This has played a key role in their selection by Plyterra as a supplier.
