Construction Materials Industry

Currently, the construction 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 housing construction materials, finishing materials, the development of cooperation links between participating enterprises, and expanding collaboration with applied science institutions and organizations.

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 construction materials produced by the region's enterprises.
