Currently, the whole town has 6 enterprises producing and processing paper products, 1 mechanical company, 2 forestry processing workshops, 36 households producing woodworking, sawing wood, milling, mechanics, aluminum and glass and nearly 200 service businesses; creating regular jobs for over 2,000 workers.
