TOMSK, Nov 11 – RIA Tomsk. The Finnish logging equipment manufacturer Ponsse opened in the Tomsk region the third in Russia service center, worth about 200 million rubles; the unit occupies 1.7 hectares next to the regional logistic center on the Severny tract near Tomsk and will provide technical assistance to dozens of loggers, RIA Tomsk correspondent reports.

It was previously reported that the Finnish company Ponsse is one of the world's leading manufacturers of harvesting machines and is among the creators of modern technologies for careful harvesting. Harvesters or forwarders of this brand are purchased by most major logging companies in Russia. In 2019, the construction of a Ponsse service center in the Tomsk region began.

"This is the third center in Russia and the first beyond the Urals. Why did we choose Ponsse in particular? Firstly, we have a long business history together. Secondly, of course, it is the wish of Tomsk business: when we made the decision, we knew that we needed our own Ponsse service center – the company's interests coincided with the interests of Tomsk loggers," Governor of the Tomsk region Sergey Zhvachkin said at the opening ceremony.

The complex includes a warehouse for finished equipment and spare parts and a training center. Ponsse specialists can also travel to hard-to-reach areas to provide technical assistance.

According to the press service of the regional administration, 170 Ponsse machines and 23 Ponsse harvesters are involved in logging operations in the region.
