The Urallesprom factory in Yekaterinburg has started work. It occupies 4.5 hectares and has the latest equipment from leading world manufacturers from Germany, Italy and France. The volume of investment in production came to 2.2 million euro. The company, which has part of its production facilities in the town of Pervouralsk, is oriented towards intensive processing of wood – from untreated timber to the final product. Houses made from glued beams manufactured by the factory are already being delivered to the Sverdlovsk, Moscow, Leningrad and Tyumen Oblasts, the Perm and Krasnodar Krais, to the Crimea and the countries of Western Europe.
“The potential of wooden house construction is not used to the full here,” said the governor of the region Eduard Rossel. “Indeed, the Sverdlovsk Oblast has rich forest resources, and the resources are renewable, with reserves of over 2 billion cubic meters. Without damaging the ecology in the Middle Urals, up to 20 million cubic meters of timber can be felled and processed every year, but at present only around 8 million cubic meters are felled. While 4 million square meters of housing in Russia is built from wood, in the Sverdlovsk Oblast, the figure is just 100,000 square meters. There are over 250 enterprises in the country involved in wooden house construction, while there are just over 30 here. That is, there are major prospects in the Urals for timber felling and processing.”
Furthermore, wooden house construction may be a decisive issue for successful realization of the high-priority national project “Accessible housing for the citizens of Russia”.
