“Vologodskie Lesopromyshlenniki is traditionally included in the top 20 largest timber companies in Russia (according to WhatWood’s “Top 100 companies in the Russian timber industry” rating). It is gratifying that in the previous year we have strengthened our position. The main factor that made it possible to achieve such results in 2021 was, among other things, a significant increase in prices for all forest products in the Russian and global markets”.
