Petrozavodsk, capital of the Republic of Karelia, Russia, located 420 km northeast of St. Petersburg, is a city of extremes. While in the summer the sun practically does not set during the so-called “White Nights”, the winter is endlessly long. At temperatures that can reach -35 0C only the “Banya” (traditional Russian steam bath) or the occasional ice fishing trip provide a change during the winter months. As of now the city will be associated with another extreme: In Petrozavodsk the largest OSB plant in Europe is being built. This plant is also the first of its kind in Russia. “Completely from a single supplier! ” was the order objective of the Russian company 000 DOK Kalevala for this ambitious project. lt marks an important milestone for Siempelkamp as a complete solutions provider.
