The Central Asia International Paper LLC was established jointly with the Chinese Qinhuangdao Julin Import&Export company. The project has taken off the ground thanks to direct foreign investments and modern technologies.
"By the end of 2020, the Chinese partners plan to increase the production volume to 15,000 - 20,000 tons of paper products. It is planned to increase production volume through production of printed, offset and cardboard paper with a total investment of $10 million," the message said.
