UPM Raflatac opens new terminal in Chelyabinsk, Russia to serve growing Ural region

UPM Raflatac has opened a new labelstock slitting and distribution terminal in Chelyabinsk, Russia. The facility features two meter-wide slitting capabilities and allows UPM Raflatac to offer an expanded range of innovative and sustainable paper, film and specials products to customers in the Ural region.

This new terminal joins UPM Raflatac’s Russian Terminal Network, which includes facilities in St. Petersburg and Moscow region that opened in 2009 and 2011, respectively. It further expands the service network and confirms the company’s commitment to the Russian market and surrounding region.
