Our country is one of the world's leading timber reserves. The reason for this is the combination of qualitative and quantitative diversity of raw materials throughout its territory. That is why woodworking enterprises, which produced a huge variety of products, acquired great importance in the Russian economy. It is difficult to enumerate the range of products manufactured at the factories of this industry - these are sleepers, furniture with lumber, containers with matches, skis, kitchen utensils, as well as musical instruments, etc. In a word, everything that can be obtained and processed from wood is produced by woodworking enterprises in many of their divisions.
A bit of history
In Russia, woodworking has been done for quite a long time. The roots of thistypes of activity are drawn from subsistence farming, when a person created mainly handicrafts. Gradually, this craft began to take shape in production. And already at the beginning of the eighteenth century, woodworking enterprises began to gain momentum. In the eastern regions, small furniture factories, sawmills, match factories, etc. were opened. Large woodworking enterprises were mainly located in Siberia - where the taiga grew, which provides the main raw materials. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there was a significant increase in production in this industry, but its material and technical base was still underdeveloped. Therefore, the production of lumber dominated for the most part, and complex wood products were still created by hand by handicraftsmen.
In the USSR, woodworking enterprises working with this environmentally friendly raw material were created throughout the territory. The most powerful plants were located in the Far East, in Karelia, in the Sverdlovsk region. A scientific approach also began to be widely used: several research institutes were created that studied the properties of raw materials, drying technologies, and storage conditions.
Woodworking enterprises in Russia
In the post-perestroika period, when there was an active growth in business, this industry received a new impetus for development. The proportion of private production has increased, especially furniture, inventory, and containers. Approximately one third of all wood produced was for some time intended for export. However, for several years the Russian government, having reduced the export of unprocessedforests began to stimulate the deep processing of raw materials within the state.
Industry today
Wood processing enterprises in our country related to the forest industry carry out the processing of raw materials by mechanical or chemical means. They are represented by sawmill production - factories that produce sawn timber, as well as technological chips, sleepers or blanks. Their second activity is the production of prefabricated wooden houses or standard detailed sets of parts for their construction. Many factories are engaged in the production of fibreboard, better known as fiberboard, or chipboard - chipboard, as well as building parts and joinery.
Primary raw materials for the production of almost twenty thousand items are round assortments - sawlog, sleeper, balance, etc. It is processed at sawmills and sleeper production, using for the manufacture of boards, plywood and matches.
Many Russian woodworking enterprises are located near the logging camps. The largest of them are located in the Ural and Northwestern, as well as in the Siberian and Far Eastern districts.
