At first sawn timber storehouse was almost built anew it was equipped by modern sorting line “FinScan” (Sweden) with a system of automatic measuring of geometric parameters of a log. This permitted to accept the whole incoming sawn timber directly at sorting line.

On December, 14, 2001 new sawmilling workshop was opened on the basis of Finnish equipment. So Onezhsky LDK doubled sawn-timber output in terms of per one worker. In 2006 new drying capacities were set into operation that let to abandon atmospheric drying.

Onezhsky LDK actively participate in saturation of enterprises with wood harvesting equipment that ensures a stable growth of raw sawn-timber supply. At that the mill processes almost the whole sawn-timber volume logged in Onezhsky region.
