🌲 Ilim and China: 30 years of partnership and new horizons
On April 3, 2026, a gala reception was held in Manzhouli dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ilim Group’s work in the Chinese market. The event was held with the support of the city administration and brought together key representatives of business and government.
📊 Key results of the meeting:
✔ More than 22 million tons of cargo passed through Manchuria over 30 years. ✔ In 2025, over 1.2 million tons of products were sent through the Zabaikalsk-Manchuria border crossing - this is more than half of Ilim’s total exports to China. ✔ Two memorandums of cooperation were signed: with the Manzhouli City Commerce Department and with Manzhouli Economic and Trade Freight Co., Ltd.
💬 “I am confident that the directions recorded in the memorandums - from the development of financial instruments and digital banking services to the implementation of projects in the bonded zone and the expansion of trade cooperation - will contribute not only to the further growth of supply volumes, but also to an increase in their quality and technological level,” - Alexey Dakhnovsky, Trade Representative of the Russian Federation in the PRC.
💬 Manzhouli Economic and Trade Freight Co., Ltd. — our largest and reliable partner for all 30 years. Thanks to joint efforts and mutual trust, we were able to build a sustainable supply chain and achieve impressive results,” said Alexander Lykhin, head of the Beijing representative office of Ilim Group in China. 💬 “Few Russian industrial companies were able to come to China, develop dynamically here for 30 years and achieve outstanding success. The results achieved in practice, and not in words, prove that Ilim Group is a powerful team of highly qualified professionals,” Nikolay Gudkov, head of the regional representative office of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in East Asia.
