Our history and achievements

Construction of the Selenginsky pulp and cardboard mill began in 1959 at the site where the construction of a pulp and viscose mill was carried out earlier (from 1956 to 1959).

The choice of the site for the construction of the plant on the Selenga River was due to the availability of sufficient timber resources in the republic, the absence of timber consumers on site, a developed transport network, available building materials and the proximity of a coal deposit.

In April 1959, the State Planning Committee of the USSR and the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR made a proposal to the Council of Ministers of the USSR to change the profile of the Selenginsky Combine: the production of only containerboard. Thus, the necessity was justified to build an enterprise in the Baikal basin - a utilizer of sawmill and woodworking waste.

The plant was built in extremely difficult conditions associated with the seismicity of the zone (up to 9 points). Only on the main production building, excavation work was carried out for a foundation pit of 289446 m3, piles were driven under the foundation - 21174 pieces, 11394 tons of metal structures were mounted, 1092 tons of aluminum panels were laid, 52735 m2 of glazing were performed, the figures given speak not only about the huge scale of construction and installation work, but also how much labor, energy, perseverance the builders put into the creation of the plant. The construction was announced by the All-Union Shock Komsomolskaya.

During the construction, the design assignment was repeatedly corrected, a number of examinations took place. The geographical location of the enterprise has caused close attention to it from the side of environmentalists. The requirements for environmental measures were constantly increasing and this could not but affect the increase in the construction time of the plant.

The workshops of the plant were put into operation as soon as they were ready. The electrical repair shop and central mechanical repair shops were the first to start operating - 1967.

In 1971, by order of the Ministry of the Pulp and Paper Industry of the USSR, the design assignment of the Selenginsky Pulp and Paper Mill, adjusted by Sibgiprobum, was approved with the main indicators:

• pulp for cooking 297 thousand tons per year,
• containerboard - 280 thousand tons per year.

On June 30, 1971, the State Acceptance Commission commissioned the first stage of the TPP, and in August the first generator gave an industrial current.

On April 25, 1973, the board-making machine K-07 was tested under load on imported Baikal cellulose and the first product was obtained - commercial cellulose.

According to the act of the State Commission, the volume of containerboard production was determined at 140 thousand tons.

On June 7, 1973, the first pulping was carried out and the entire technological chain of the mill for the production of cardboard was involved.

On June 30, 1973, an act of the State Commission was signed on the commissioning of the first stage of the plant in the amount of 145 thousand tons of pulp for cooking and 140 thousand tons of cardboard per year. This date became the birthday of the Selenginsky pulp and paper mill.

1973-1974 years - the years of commissioning, years of hard work, when specialists literally did not leave the shops for days, the years of the formation of the plant's collective, the improvement of technologies.

1974 was the year of full development of the technology of biological, chemical, mechanical treatment of industrial effluents, which resulted in a unique in its kind work of the treatment complex structures capable of minimizing the harmful impact of runoff on the ecosystem of Lake Baikal.

In January 1975, K-2 cardboard was received, and in January 1976, the supply of products for export began.

On December 31, 1976, a plant for processing by-products from pulping into tall products was put into operation. Currently it has the name - Workshop for the production of wood chemical and paint products.

In 1975-1977, together with the employees of the Astrakhan VNIIB, the mode of pulping and obtaining cardboard for flat layers of corrugated cardboard on mixed wood with the addition of 50% larch was worked out.

The basis of the cardboard production at the plant and its integral part is the cooking production, which produces 95 thousand tons of sulphate unbleached pulp per year.

The plant has ten digesters with a capacity of 140 cubic meters each.

In October 1977, KDM-2 was put into operation, its products are wrapping paper and paper for corrugation, and the production of K-1 cardboard was started.

The plant for processing by-products from pulping into tall products was commissioned in 1977 and is designed to process crude tall oil from the Selenginsky pulp and paper mill and the Baikalsky pulp and paper mill. The main technological equipment of domestic production.

On October 11, 1977 at KDM-2 the first products were received - wrapping paper and paper for
corrugation, and then the production of K-1 grade cardboard was started.

At the end of the seventies, among the main tasks facing the collective of the enterprise were the fulfillment of the state plan and the improvement of the quality of the products.

In 1980, the plant for the first time fulfilled the state plan, and since 1987 it has been consistently fulfilling the plan, including the supply plan under contracts.

At the end of the seventies, one of the main tasks facing the enterprise's staff was the fulfillment of the state plan and the improvement of the quality of products.

In 1984, a site for the production of paints and varnishes was opened. Its first product is tall oil varnish. In 1989, the production of PF-283 varnish began; PF-053 and PF-223 enamels; PF-266. The workshop for the production of wood-chemical and paints and varnishes produces rosin, fatty tallic acids, distilled tall oil (DTM), varnish, drying oil, enamels. The workshop works with high profitability, produces high-quality products that are in demand on the market.

In 1980, the plant for the first time fulfilled the state plan, and since 1987 it has been consistently fulfilling the plan, including the supply plan under contracts.

1980-1990 年是企業的穩定期。 在此期間，進行了大量工作 - 將紙板機現代化並將其轉移到合成網，以減少灰塵和氣體排放，引入世界實踐中沒有類似物的封閉水循環系統。

1990 年 8 月 1 日，該工廠停止向色楞格排放工業廢水。

New economic conditions and a drop in demand for containerboard forced the mill to take the path of production diversification. A course was taken for deeper processing, which resulted in the construction in a short time and the launch of a corrugated packaging workshop with a capacity of 30 million m2 / year with a further increase in capacity to 60 million m2 / year.

On October 21, 1992, the corrugated packaging workshop released its first products. The new production facility made it possible to process on-site a significant part of the produced cardboard, leave it for further processing and produce the final product - corrugated containers. This, in turn, made it possible to increase sales of products, significantly expand its range.

In 1992, a corrugated cardboard production line ZBJ-1600, a slitting machine No. 1, a stitching section, a waste disposal unit, mastered the production of starch glue.

October 1992 - in connection with the economic reform, the plant was transformed into an open joint-stock company "Selenginsky-cellulose cardboard plant".

In May 1993, the production of lumpy gaskets was opened, a line for the production of boxes No. 2 was launched.

In order to put the work on the sale of manufactured products to the proper level, in May 1993 a shop for acceptance and shipment of finished products was organized.

In 1994, a line for the production of boxes No. 3, PVS No. 2 was launched, a production site for components for corrugated packaging was organized.

In 1994, a line for the production of boxes No. 3, PVS No. 2 was launched, a production site was organized.

October 1995 - the Selenginsky customs point was opened to service the goods of the plant, following the border.

In 1996, FPT launched a line for the production of boxes No. 1 and two rotary cutting machines of the "Reverse" type. The same year was the period of the formation of a new workshop - printing. The task of this workshop is to meet the needs of the plant for printed products for various purposes, information and advertising design of the manufactured packaging.

In 1997, KDM-1 received a new product - sack paper with indicators that meet the requirements of GOST.

Currently, the container production workshop produces any types of corrugated board products, has corrugated units, four processing lines and one printing and die-cutting machine, rotary cutting machines. There is a section for the production of complex die-cut corrugated packaging and a section for the production of lumpy gaskets.

Since its opening, the workshop has been gradually increasing its production capacity, increasing the volume of production and its assortment.

May 1997 - a logging site was organized, which in September grew into a logging workshop.

The economic crisis of the 90s destroyed the raw material base of the plant and therefore the enterprise had to form its own raw material base.

August 1997 - the section for the production of paper bags on the raw materials produced by KDM-1 began to work.

The organization of this new business became possible thanks to the investment support of the Fund for the Implementation of the Federal Program for Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Buryatia.

The logging shop has its own fleet of logging and logging equipment, has a powerful material and technical base and provides a third of the production demand for raw materials.

Timber base of the plant - coniferous and deciduous forests of Buryatia, Chita, Irkutsk regions. Raw materials for the plant are one of the dominant components of production and a stable flow of raw materials, in turn, is a condition for stable production. JSC "Selenginsky pulp and paper mill" is consistently increasing the growth in the volume of timber harvesting on its own.

In 1998, a workshop for the production of coated cardboard was opened, and the production of a box for a cake was also mastered here.

In 2005 the plant worked steadily, at a good level, there was an increase in economic indicators to the level of 2004, the profitability of the plant's products increased. Along with quantitative successes, progress has been made in the field of quality. In order to exclude abrasion of products during transportation, the corrugated packaging workshop mastered the packaging of products into pallets, and a new type of product was also mastered here - a bag with a laminated coating.

The building of cutting capacities continues in the WPC, where the MRN-100 chipper is installed.

Certain successes have been achieved in brewing production. Two new pressure filters were put into operation, significant savings in heat energy consumption were achieved. In August, the installation of the "NOSS" sorting machine of the Finnish company "METSO" was completed in the HCV.

2006 went down in the history of the mill as the year of records, the maximum level achieved by the mill in the production of cardboard. The increase in production volumes amounted to 12.3% against the 2005 level. But not only quantitative characteristics have become a source of pride for the work collective of the plant based on the results of work in 2006.

Serious successes have been achieved in the field of product quality. The production of cardboard grades K-1 and K-0 totaled 98% of the roll. This literal quality breakthrough has been seen in the consumer market. Cardboard for flat layers of corrugated cardboard, grade K-0, produced by OJSC Selenginsky CCM, was awarded the Big Gold Medal at the Novosibirsk exhibition-fair “SIBUPAK-2006”.
