Leading importers of PVC
The peculiarity of distribution of PVC supply in Russia in the context of importers is that the market leader - "Tarkett" is strongly pulled away from the competition: its volume is 3-5 times greater than the volume of its neighbors in the top 5 ranking. “ERISMANN” has variety of foreign suppliers. OOO “Polikhimkomplekt-M” specializes in the most expensive types of PVC.
