HISTORY
The Company was organized in the year of 2013. Reconstruction of workshops and equipment was held after the purchase. The first order of floor storage warehouses with a capacity of 16 000 tons was restored and set to operation. All acceptance, separation and dispatch to water units were repaired. In August 2013 the first batch of grain was accepted after the reconstruction. Since then the enterprise has been functioning consistently and has been capable to transship 1 000 tons/day.
MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
The investors of the enterprise invested significant means to restore and modernize the manu-facturing facilities. In particular, 6 warehouses were restored, new truck scales were installed, 3 automobile unloaders were repaired, a mooring was certified and set in operation, an administrative building and personnel rooms were repaired, and separation unit was restored. At the moment, Terminal is capable to store 16 thousand tons; it owns a grain cleaner unit with a capacity of 80 tons/hour, a shipment capacity of 1 thousand tons/day. In addition to this, a certified laboratory to control the quality of the accepted products is lo-cated in the acceptance unit.
