About us
A specialised pole plant with 60+ years of history
UralForest is the former Serov Energy Timber Plant, founded in 1959. In the Soviet era it was the largest pole producer of the USSR Ministry of Energy, making up to 150,000 m³ of poles a year.
Today the plant in Serov, Sverdlovsk Region, runs a full cycle on its own site: debarking, kiln drying, autoclave treatment, quality control and rail loading from its own siding. Our poles are recommended for use on the networks of Rosseti, Russia’s national grid operator.
