Until July 2023, this full-cycle enterprise with maximum production automation and modern high-tech equipment was part of the Danish concern Hempel. When the concern left Russia, the asset in the Zavolzhye industrial park went to the Yekaterinburg group of companies Litum. The enterprise was relaunched, and the Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region, Alexey Russkikh, familiarized himself with its work.
The plant has been relaunched, new suppliers of raw materials and components have been found - companies from China, Turkey. It is planned to reach production capacity by the end of the year. Today, the company employs about 60 people who worked previously. There are plans to increase staff to 120-130 people. We will support, help with the search for potential counterparties, expand sales markets, use ties with friendly countries to promote products that will be in demand, primarily by the construction industry of the Ulyanovsk region.
After the restart, the plant is operating in full: lines for the production of paints and varnishes, warehouses of raw materials and finished products, and a laboratory are functioning.
Litum Group is the largest Russian manufacturer of industrial, marine and powder coatings, as well as coatings for rolled products and automobiles.
It is the successor to the global paint and varnish companies Jotun (enterprise in the Leningrad region), Hempel (in the Ulyanovsk region) and PPG (enterprises in the Lipetsk region and Kolomna). Litum produces 100 thousand tons of products per year.
