The history of DOMOSTROITEL dates back to 1944,
when a house-building factory was founded. This
explains the name of the factory: in Russian
“Domostroitel” means “house-builder”.
Since 1967 the factory started to produce containerhouses for the regions with winter temperature – 30
ºC. In 1981, due to development of oil and gas
industry, the factory started to produce container
houses for regions with temperature up to - 50 ºC.

The factory developed into a large-scale enterprise
with 3 main directions of production:
- sawmilling and woodworking,
- house-building and
- production of soft fiberboard.
In 1992 the factory became an open joint-stock
company. Panel production started since that year.
Deliveries of different articles to domestic and foreign
markets developed.

One of the biggest issues for the factory is wastes
utilization. Earlier wood wastes were used for soft
fiberboard production, but in 2006 this production
was closed as it was not profitable and caused
environment pollution.
There are installed two presses for production of
wood briquettes which are very popular for houses
heating. We sell briquettes to different countries in
Europe.
