“While implementing our sustainable development strategy, Ilim Group relies on the balance of three components: resources – production – market. Global competition with players from Canada, Brazil, USA, and Europe sets the bar of ambitions and drives the need to build up additional skills, competencies, and professionalism. Based on long-term trends, also including higher-than-market demand growth for packaging, we are starting a kraftliner production at one of our Siberian mills in 2022. It will enable Ilim to become one of the largest producers of unbleached kraft packaging materials in the world with a total output of 1.5 million tons of products per year. Total company output by 2025 will exceed 4.5 million tons of products per year thus bringing Ilim on par with the largest global industry players. Our company is the largest forest management company which shapes our development outlook and at the same time entails great responsibility”, noted Ksenia Sosnina.
