OREANDA-NEWS. St. Petersburg Cartonboard and Printing Mill, a subsidiary of Ilim Pulp, produced 220.6 thousand tonnes of cartonboard gross during the first eleven months of 2006, including 183.9 thousand tonnes of market cartonboard, 9.1 thousand tonnes (5.2%) up as compared to the same period last year.

The redistribution of production volumes is due to changes made in the order from Petroboard Trading, as well as in the orders from Knauf companies. Output of printed product over the first eleven months of 2006 amounted to 24.5 thousand tonnes, just 0.9 thousand tonnes (3.6%) down year-on-year.

Due to the plate-producing equipment renovation earlier this year output of disposable plates went down 11.5% year-on-year, totaling 72.2 million pieces since year start.
