Ilim Timber acquires Klausner’s KHB and KNT mills
According to the agreement, signed by the leading Russian Forestry Company Ilim Timber and the German Klausner Group, Ilim Timber acquires two of Klausner’s sawmills - Klausner Holz Bayern and Klausner Nordic Timber. Mills production capacities are respectively 800 thous. and 1100 thous. m3 of sawn timber per year.
According to the arrangements Ilim Timber also acquires a set of brand new Linck sawmill equipment with production capacity of 600 thous.m3 per year. The equipment had been ordered by Klausner Group, but was not installed due to the world economic crisis.
Ilim Timber plans to continue operations on the both mills in Germany and achieve maximum capacity. The set of brand new equipment will be used for the brown field project in Siberia (Irkutsk region) upgrading existing Ilim Timber production facility until the end of 2011.
«Acquiring of the high-class assets allows us to strengthen our position in the European market. Installation of the new equipment at the existing saw mill location in Eastern Siberia gives us an opportunity to increase production volumes and extend our presence in China. As a result Ilim Timber will achieve the production volume of about 3 mln.m3 per year, positively affecting company value» - Ilim Timber CEO Michael Kokorich stated.
