The Naberezhnye Chelny Cardboard and Paper Mill is one of the ten largest enterprises of the pulp and paper industry in Russia, one of the 50 main taxpayers in Tatarstan and the second budget-forming enterprise in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. The owners of the mill are its employees (100% of the company’s shares are employee-owned). The company currently produces cardboard, paper and products from them, such as sanitary and hygienic goods, corrugated packaging.
The main goal of the project was to increase the operating speed of the cardboard machine (CBM) from 400 m/min to 600 m/min. After the commissioning of the renewed equipment, the speed of the CBM actually reached 620 m/min.
The cardboard factory project is scheduled to be completed in 2020-2021. As a result, the factory would be able to produce high quality goods weighing from 80 to 250 g/m2 at a steady speed of 800 m/min.
Also in 2020, it is planned to design the upgrading of the paper mill to increase the output of basic toilet paper and sanitary products. The implementation of this project is scheduled for 2021-2023 in order to increase the paper mill output by 20%.
