The Cherepovets company has implemented a construction project of a new modern sawmill for the production of dry coniferous sawn timber of export quality with a capacity of 100,000 m³ per year. The initiator of the project is the company OOO "Belozerskles", which is part of the holding company.

The new sawmill will annually process 220 thousand m³ of coniferous sawn timber of small diameters ("thin log"), will expand the existing assortment of products, increase production volumes, enter new sales markets, and create 97 new jobs for the Belozersky district people.

One of the principles of choosing the project location was maximum proximity of the future sawmill construction site to the existing production infrastructure - the Belozersk municipal district of the Vologda region.

A site next to the Veregonets village of Belozersky district was chosen as an optimal place for the construction of a new production facility. The new sawmill land area is 25 hectares.

The sawmill construction pre-design works were started in 2015. The construction started in 2016. The technological equipment supply, installation and commissioning was completed during 2017.

The opening ceremony was attended by the governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov, member of the Federation Council Nikolai Tikhomirov, State Duma deputy Alexey Kanaev. The launch of production facilities was accompanied by a symbolic push of a button.

Valery Pisarev, General Director of the Cherepovetsles Holding, said that just a year ago the first slab was filled in at this place, and now there is a modern powerful wood processing complex here. The governor noted that the new enterprise will become a powerful support for the district and for the settlement - new jobs and infrastructure will appear.
