New trends in international trade! Earlier, Ilim Group announced a new agreement with Xiamen Jianfa Pulp Co., Ltd., one of its main partners, to launch a new pulp and paperboard factory in Ustyilimsk, Irkutsk, to increase the supply of paperboard to the Chinese market.

Due to the international trade export restrictions imposed by many European countries on Russia, nearly half of the paperboard and non-white cellulose in Ilim Group's factory in Koriazma are transferred to the Chinese market. Meanwhile, Elim Group is expected to increase the supply of pulp and paperboard to China.
