Summary

This project aimed to provide assistance to the Siberian Chemical Kombinat (SCK) in Seversk to enable it to expand the existing wood processing facilities at its Repair and Engineering Plant. This expansion would enable SCK to supply a wider range of finished softwood products, both to the local market and internationally.. The Steering Group agreed a grant in August 2005.

Final audit proved that the beneficiary had fulfilled their obligations in full and had overfulfilled their obligations in what concerns new jobs creation (35 jobs / including 35 for ex- workers of SCK had been created vs 34 /34 planned initially).

The project has been completed successfully.
