The Czech building company «PSJ, a.s.» is the general building contractor. For this company DOK Kalevala has become the most large-scale project.

The German company «Siempelkamp» is in charge of equipment delivery and contract supervision. The company is a leader in the international market of equipment delivery and production of wood and board materials.

At launch of the first line, production capacity of the mill amounts to 300 thousand cubic meters per year, raw material consumption amounts to 600 thousand cubic meters of pulpwood per year.

The technology of continuous pressing is currently the most progressive one and contributes to achieving qualitative, sustainable and competitive products of low consumption of materials. The wood processing mill Kalevala produces the OSB board, which satisfies the highest requirements of environmental safety for building materials.

Owing to modern and high-technology equipment, the mill produces boards of various types and sizes including rabbeted ones (“tongue-and-groove» system). The characteristics of the products comply with the European standard ЕN-300-2006 («Oriented Strand Boards (OSB) - Definitions, classification and specifications»).

Non-waste production minimizes the negative impact on the environment. Bark, wood fraction and other wood waste are burned in the energy centre with capacity of 50MW, and thus substantially optimize their own energy consumption. The equipment of the German company «Scheuch», with purification of the wasted gas and the use of moist electrical filter, complies with the highest European environmental standards.

The wood processing mill applies the modern methods of the organization of the production process, observing the highest industry standards.

The products are put under strict quality inspection to satisfy the requirements of safety and sustainability.
