Lambumiz to open aseptic packaging plant by end-2026

Russian cardboard packaging maker Lambumiz has secured permission to build a new production facility for aseptic packaging, targeting launch by the end of 2026. The company expects the move to capture up to 10% of domestic aseptic packaging demand, worth an estimated 58-63 billion rubles, and to reduce reliance on Chinese imports. Lambumiz separately reported 2025 IFRS net profit down 23% to 207 million rubles on revenue up 1% to 2.775 billion rubles.

Why this mattersDomestic aseptic capacity would cut Russian dairy packers' reliance on Chinese carton imports and move Lambumiz out of lower-margin non-aseptic gable-top into a higher-margin segment.
