The Malaysian forest company, Rimbunan Hijau, would build an MDF plant in Russia, a move that would help the company cope with Russian export taxes, Japan Lumber Reports stated. The new MDF plant would be its
first in Russia and would eventually have continuous press lines for MDF manufacturing. The MDF products would be exported to China, Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia and marketed within Russia as well. The company said that it would consider building lumber and veneer manufacturing
facilities once the MDF plant was complete.
