ANDRITZ is investing in the construction of an advanced Service Center in Brazil, which will offer maintenance and technical support for equipment in pulp and paper mills. This significant project, located in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, is seen as a strategic step to expand the company’s service and technical support capacity in the South American region.

As part of its expansion plans, the international technology group ANDRITZ aims to create approximately 130 new permanent jobs with this new center. The state-of-the-art facility reflects ANDRITZ’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative, high-quality solutions for its customers. Innovation and the creation of economic opportunities are at the heart of this initiative, demonstrating the positive impact that ANDRITZ has on the local industrial sector.

The new Center will primarily serve the pulp and paper mills in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and adjacent areas, offering a wide range of services such as repairs, reconstructions, equipment upgrades, and maintenance services. Furthermore, the Center will function as a manufacturing and distribution hub, enhancing the availability of strategic parts to meet regional demands more efficiently.

This new center will be built on a 30,000 m² plot, of which 6,000 m² will be allocated for the workshop and an additional 6,000 m² preserved for environmental areas. Construction is scheduled to begin in December 2024, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2026. The project will generate around 50 direct jobs and 150 indirect jobs during the construction phase. Once fully operational, the center is expected to provide over 130 permanent jobs, benefiting the local economy and strengthening ANDRITZ Group’s presence in Brazil.
