Plans to expand capacity

The company is considering building a logistics center in the PLP. As explained by the ITAR-Tass deputy director of the Information Policy RATM Holding Irina Baybarovich, it requires an area of ??about 10 hectares.

In addition, in the future in the territory of the PLP "Ekran" can start and production, however, stressed Baybarovich about how to make a plant in Novosibirsk hell out of the question.

Novosibirsk Industrial and Logistics Park "Tolmachevo" want to sell to a private investor. "Glass industry is such that it has a limited investment cycle. Furnace exhausts its resources for a period of 8 to 12 years. This investment cycle can be extended, but no more than 2-3 years. Thereafter, it should be completely demolish and build again, so today we look at the construction site for the new furnaces, including considering PLP ", - she said.
