Dear Sir/Madam,

The flour manufactured by Pava is famous for its quality and high environmental characteristics.
The company has three milling plants, each with its own modern cylinder-shaped concrete terminal (“elevator”) for storage and shipment of grain. Products shipped from the mills leave by rail as each plant has its own rail-line. Two of the plants are located in Altay region and the third one is in Krasnoyarsk region, in Achinsk. Production lines of Pava’s milling plants are equipped with machinery, produced under the licence of “Buhler” company (Switzerland), a world leader of milling equipment manufacturing.
