Lemcon Ltd, a Finnish company specializing in the demanding
building construction and civil engineering industry, is proud to
present a new development project of an industrial park in Russia´s
Kaluga region, about 200 kilometres south-west of Moscow. Lemcon is part
of Lemminkäinen Group (HEX:LEM1S), a
construction company operating internationally in all areas of the
construction sector. Lemcon has taken possession of the land site of 135 hectares in
Vorotynsk settlement located not far from Kaluga city, the regional
centre. The idea is to offer companies investing in Russia a fast and
low-risk way of establishing themselves in the growing Russian market. The completion of the project will allow a number of industrial
enterprises and logistics centers to start up production in the near
future. The total building area to be constructed is up to 500,000 m2.
There are some incontestable advantages for companies willing to locate
their enterprises in the Kaluga region, such as good vehicle access, tax
benefits for foreign investors, skilled labor power and all necessary
power resources in the region. A number of big international companies
have already placed their enterprises in Kaluga. One of the new ideas is the concept of providing specialized zones to
various industry segments. For instance, automobile suppliers can truly
benefit from the close proximity of their sub-suppliers, as many value
the fact that their competitor is next door. Furthermore, the companies
establishing their manufacturing operations for first time in Russia
need a lot of support, which is provided by Lemcon and its partners. Lemminkäinen Group Lemminkäinen Group operates in all areas
of the construction sector. Its main business sectors are building
construction, infrastructure construction, technical building services
and building products. Net sales in 2007 were approx. EUR 2.2 billion
of which international operations accounted for over a quarter. The
Group employs about 9,200 people. Lemminkäinen´s
share is quoted on OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki. Lemcon Lemcon Ltd has operated in over 70 countries of the world. The
operations in Russia started already in 1972.Lemcon Ltd is part of
Lemminkäinen Group and an international
project contractor that derives more than half of its business from
projects abroad.
