“VCP” JSC today is a
sure-footed, rapidly developing product company solving
many arising problems.
Vladimir Chemicals Plant
increases its productive capacities and volumes of output
putting a greater emphasis on the quality of manufacture.
Our plant manufactures a wide
range of chemical products: PVC plasticizers, plasticizer-free
sheeting and granulated materials, polyethylene
terephthalate films, polyethers, fiber glass articles.
These are the main types of our products. The sphere of
their application is very wide: from cable and automobile
to food and building industry.
One of the long-term goals of
“VCP” JSC is to arrange a closed technological cycle
starting with raw material release and ending with
finished goods manufacture. We have already done the first
step to it: not long ago “VCP” JSC bought a production
site in the city of Dzerzhinsk and started to produce raw
materials for shop floor production. It is just a
beginning of long-term plan on transforming “VCP” JSC into
a vertically-integrated company.
