Suzano: planning a major expansion at Mucuri

摘要

Suzano Papel e Celulose, a supplier of half a million tons of market pulp and 0.8 million tons of paper and paperboard, is one of Brazil's several large pulp and paper companies. The company is a result of Suzano de Papel e Celulose's acquisition of Bahia Sul Celulose e Papel in 2001. Later, Suzano Bahia Sul tried to acquire Portucel through one of its owners, Sonae, but this attempt failed in the end. This year, Suzano acquired Brazilian Ripasa together with Votorantim. Now, Suzano is starting a one-million-ton eucalyptus pulp project in Mucuri to be ready in production in late 2007.
