The Siberian Timber Chemical Plant (a structural division of the biochemical holding Orghim), with state support, intends to implement two investment projects in the flagship city of Lesosibirsk. These are initiatives to create the production of phenolterpene resins and diacetone alcohol. The investment projects are supported by the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation.
The production of phenolterpene resins, a raw material component for the tire industry, will become the only one in Russia. Its capacity will be 120 tons of products per year. The project is aimed at full import substitution of a strategically important component for the country's tire plants. Currently, domestic tire manufacturers are almost entirely dependent on the supply of phenolterpene resins from abroad. The new production line will strengthen the technological sovereignty of the Russian industry.
The volume of investments in the project is 126.6 million rubles, of which 100 million rubles are from the loan of the Industrial Development Fund of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Construction and installation work is currently underway. The company is expected to reach full production capacity in 2027.
The second project involves the development of technology and organization of the production of diacetone alcohol. The company plans to produce 1,800 tons of products per year, which will completely replace supplies from abroad. The company is expected to start operating in 2028. The volume of investments will amount to at least 105 million rubles, of which 70 million rubles will be subsidized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.
