Made in Russia certified Segezha Group enters Korean market with Innovative tanker plywood

The largest Russian timber company Segezha Group, holder of the Made in Russia certificate, and one of the leading South Korean shipyards Samsung Heavy Industries are preparing to sign a long-term contract for the supply of high-tech tanker plywood Segezha -LNG from the Vyatka Plywood Mill, intended for lining gas carrier tanks. The material is capable of withstanding extremely low temperatures and high pressure, and minimizes LNG evaporation during long-distance transportation.

It should be noted that the products from Vyatka Plywood Mill are officially certified within the framework of the Made in Russia voluntary certification system in terms of reliability. To get a free Made in Russia certificate, the company does not need to undergo additional checks by Russian Export Center. All that needs to be done is to submit an application on the REC website.

Segezha Group reported, the volume of special products at the Vyatka Plywood Mill is expected to grow by at least a quarter this year. The first deliveries are scheduled to the end of 2025.

"We are confident that our cooperation with Samsung Heavy Industries will be an important step in strengthening the position of Segezha Group in the international arena. The supply of Segezha-LNG tanker plywood will not only expand our export potential but also confirm the high quality of our products," Dmitry Beresnev, Vice President for Commercial Activities, Segezha Group.
