During the opening of the 32nd edition of Expo Usipa – the largest business fair in the industry, commerce, and services sector in Minas Gerais – Júlio César stated that Cenibra began its operations in 1977, thus being a somewhat older factory.

The CEO of Cenibra, Kazuhiko Kamada, also commented on the modernization process that the company is currently undergoing. Kamada stated that in September of this year, Cenibra will celebrate its 49th anniversary and that consequently, the equipment is getting old, so it is necessary to replace it with more modern and new ones.

He further added that Cenibra produces pulp through a work that begins from the planting of seedlings in the nursery. Thus, it is essential for the company to invest in all production processes, which is quite complex. The director emphasized that investments are being made throughout the entire production chain, in order to achieve a more modernized set.

Finally, Kamada noted that since the investments are multi-year, the company will experience considerable improvement, as well as the region in the state of Minas Gerais will also have its development boosted.
