Pauligin Venäjän paahtimohanke liikahti eteenpäin

Paulig on päättänyt rakentaa Venäjän Tveriin kaavailemansa paahtimon, jonka toteutusta siirrettiin viime syksynä Venäjän epävarman taloustilanteen vuoksi. Hankkeen toteutussuunnitelmat ovat valmiit ja tonttikauppa tehty. Hanke voidaan käynnistää, kun rakennusluvat on saatu. Paahtimo on toiminnassa arviolta vuoden 2011 alkupuolella. ”Haluamme saada rakentamisen käyntiin, sillä uskon, että nyt on saatavana sekä tekijöitä että materiaaleja järkevin kustannuksin. Talouden nousuvaiheen alkaessa meillä on hyvät valmiudet lähteä täysipainoisesti liikkeelle. Paikallinen paahtimo parantaa merkittävästi kilpailukykyämme Venäjällä ja IVY-maissa”, kertoo Gustav Pauligin toimitusjohtaja Pekka Pirinen. Oy Gustav Paulig Ab:n uusi Suomen paahtimo valmistuu syksyllä 2009.

The plans for the implementation of the project are complete and the transaction for the plot of land has been effected. The project can be started up when the construction permits have been received. It is estimated that the roastery will be operational in the first half of 2011. “We have good reasons to get construction started. I believe that availability of constructors and materials has improved and prices have become to more realistic level. When the economic upswing gets under way we will have a good basis to go ahead at full speed. A local roastery will substantially improve our competitiveness in Russia and the CIS, which we see as very potential future markets,” says Gustav Paulig’s Managing Director Pekka Pirinen. Gustav Paulig Ltd’s new roastery in Finland will be completed in autumn 2009.
