OREANDA-NEWS. June 26, 2008. Today the transfer of the LLC “Svetoch”’s equipment to the enterprises of the “North-West Timber Company” (Neman Pulp-and-Paper Mill and Kamennogorsk Offset Paper Mill) has been completed

The transfer was performed within the framework of strategic alliance of the owners of “Svetoch” and the NWTC. The transfer will make it possible to decrease the product’s prime cost. The production premises which “Svetoch” rented on Petergoffskoe highway in St. Petersburg have become free now. Two printing machines “Zircon” and “Rapida”, and bindery machines, stitcher machines, and folding machines as well were transferred to Neman PPM printing plant. The lines for production of calendars, diaries, notebooks had already been installed at NPPM. Flat-and-back stripping machines, sheet-cutting and roll-cutting machines, and book-cover line and other devices were installed at Kamennogorsk Offset Paper Mill. For “Svetoch” products, we use the NWTC’s paper that is free of chlorine and chlorine compounds. According to Commercial Director Ilia Batkin after the transfer of "Svetoch" to the NWTC enterprises the demand on "Svetoch"’s products has increased. “We have improved the quality of our products up to the best European standards. In the nearest future we plan to develop the line of paper-stationary goods, the design and production of new covers in the Neman printing plant", Ilya Batkin said.
