Ilim Group Relies On The Us Model

摘要

Ilim Group is determined to grow while minimising risks. At the same time, a strong focus is being placed on the Chinese market, says Brian McDonald, Deputy CEO and Managing Director of Ilim East. - We are the closest mills to China on that scale. Our primary focus is to produce pulp for export to China, Russia and Asia, but China is our main pulp market. We are already the market leader in China and we can see that the pulp market is growing fast. - When Ilim Group has a lot of brownfield and greenfield installations going on we also have a good and strong organisation to implement the projects and we utilise local resources really effectively. The key word is centralised procurement, says John W. Rankin, Deputy CEO Managing Director, Manufacturing and Investments. Ilim Group is the leader in the Russian pulp and paper industry in terms of output volume, financial stability, corporate governance efficiency and technology. Ilim Group's strategic partner is International Paper (IP), the world's largest pulp and paper company. Ilim Group is headquartered in St. Petersburg.
