Erema GmbH is all set to announce the founding of the subsidiary "OOO Erema" at Interplastica Moscow from 28-31 January 2016, which will see it investing in its presence in the Russian-speaking area. Kalojan Iliev, who can turn to many years of experience in the CIS area and has been responsible for this territory for Erema for some time, will be appointed Managing Director of OOO Erema says the company. The official presentation of the newly founded subsidiary will take place at the Erema Stand at Interplastica Moscow.

The 268 million inhabitants of the CIS member states use around 9.1 million tonnes of plastic every year. Additionally, some 7 million tonnes are processed to make plastic products and Austria supplies in the region of 1 billion euros of plants and machinery annually to Russia alone, according to the company.

"With the foundation of its own subsidiary, Erema is strengthening its presence in what is a very large territory which, due to its history as the Soviet Union and Russian as a widespread language, represents a region of its own. This means that Erema is available as a central, Russian contractual partner with local presence and this is not only an advantage in terms of managing the purchasing process, our customers will also benefit from improved service," says Kalojan Iliev.

Together with his team, Kalojan Iliev will be responsible for the further development and marketing of Erema in the CIS region and support activities of the local representatives in the individual countries. The company says Erema representatives Irina Zubkova (Moscow) and Valentina Gritschina (Kiev) will continue to act as local sales partners. Furthermore, the established offices of Textima in Belarus, the Baltic states, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and the Russian offices in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Ufa will likewise be available for local market support.
