Kemira: Tikkurila to build logistics and customer service center in Moscow
Based on its strategy, Kemira coatings (Tikkurila), which is responsible for Kemira's paints and coatings business, will further strengthen its position in the Russian paint market. The company has decided to build a logistics and customer service centre in Moscow to be able to take the challenges offered by the strong growth and increasing demand. The investment will total approximately EUR 20 million.
Lemcon Ltd. of the Lemminkäinen Group has been chosen as main contractor of the logistics center, and Architect's Office Ilonen & Lautamo Ky is responsible for the design. The center will be built in Mytish, Moscow, and it is due to be opened in the summer of 2008. The building volume will be 86,600 m3 and total building floor area 10,000 m2.
Kemira Coatings has been exporting paints and coatings to Russia for decades under the Tikkurila brand name. The company also has local production in the country in six paint factories altogether. The new logistics and customer service center aims at a considerable improvement in Tikkurila's service level in the rapidly growing market in the Moscow area. The center will also include facilities for comprehensive customer training, which is an essential part of Tikkurila's marketing.
