Development of harvesting production and organization of manufacturing timber high-level processing complex
Project initiator: OOO “Aveil”
First, patronymic and last names of the leader: Makarevich Alexey Gennadievich
Address: 186001, Republic of Karelia, Petrozavodsk, Sovetskaya st., 39-6, tel/fax (8142) 76 82 79, mob + 7 911 403 80 50, e-mail: rondo2002@rambler.ru aveil@inbox.ru
Project goal: Organizations of manufacturing complex in Girvas settlement (Kondopoga municipal region) that consists of:
1.      Assortment harvesting base that includes powered harvesting complexes, timber truck Park, loading machines.
2.      Unit to produce glued wall profiled square logs.
3.      Unit to produce wood pellets from paper and fuel wood.
Project description:
Forest harvesting will be organized within the radius of 150-200 km away from Girvas settlement. Timber processing will be organized directly in the settlement on the premises of manufacturing base. Development of manufacturing base implies purchasing of timber trucks, harvesting and loading equipment.
Construction of the unit to produce glued wall profiled square logs implies project planning and approval, purchase of equipment and construction of leg sectioning plant, purchase of equipment and construction of timber processing complex, purchase of automated boiler house using wood waste, purchase of loading equipment.
Construction of the unit to produce wood pellets implies purchasing equipment for coarse grinding of raw wood and equipment for producing pellets, construction works to build a dock and administrative building. 
Level of project readiness: Business plan is available. Among main competitive advantages of the project are as follows:
-         Low net cost of raw material due to self-maintained harvesting and not purchasing it from side organizations;
-         High quality of end product supported by modern imported highly productive equipment.
-         Low net cost of end product owning to effective technologies of material processing.
Planned volume of investments in permanent assets - 10755 thousand Euro, including the expenditures for the complex:
Harvesting base - 3267 thousand Euro,
Unit to produce glued square logs – 3200 thousand Euro,
Unit to produce wood pellets – 4288 thousand Euro.
Planned volume of investments in working assets – 47 thousand Euro.
Expected effect: Annual timber harvesting will be 66 thousand cubic meters, production volume of glued square logs will be 6 thousand cubic meters, production volume of wood pellets will be 28 thousand tons per year.
Annual net income of the enterprise without taking into consideration tax sheltering will be 1.8 million Euro.
