Building Materials Industry

Currently, the building materials cluster of the Leningrad Region is in the process of formation. In the future, the cluster will develop through the creation of new production facilities for house-building materials, finishing materials, the development of cooperative ties between cluster member enterprises, and expanding cooperation with institutions and organizations of applied science.

More than 30 enterprises operate in the industry. Production volumes traditionally depend on the pace of construction not only in the Leningrad Region but also in St. Petersburg, which is the largest consumer of building materials produced by the region's enterprises.
