The new equipment with the output capacity of 50,000 tonnes per annum will allow making new varieties of synthetic yarn, which sell well in CIS and non-CIS states.

The Russian Federation remains the main strategic partner for Mogilevkhimvolokno, with the company selling about half of its output to Russia. Among other things the new facility will allow increasing the output and export to Russia.

Piotr Rudnik said: “We are discussing the implementation of the second stage of the investment project to develop the enterprise. Mogilevkhimvolokno polyester fiber December
