Suzano’s New Pulp Mill Will Be Inaugurated by June 2024 in Mato Grosso do Sul

Suzano’s long-awaited pulp mill, part of the Cerrado Project located in Ribas do Rio Pardo, is about to begin its operations. The company has expedited the timeline and plans for the new plant to be operational by June 2024, as announced in a relevant market statement. 

This acceleration represents a significant change from the previous estimate, which indicated that the mill would only be operational in the second half of 2024. Other project details, including the total investment of R$ 22.2 billion, remain unchanged, according to Campo Grande News.

Business-Friendly Environment in Mato Grosso do Sul

During the MS Day event held in São Paulo, Suzano’s president, Walter Schalka, emphasized the positive business environment provided by the Government of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Schalka highlighted the speed, quality, and adequate infrastructure offered by the state, factors that drove the decision to invest significantly in the region.

The company’s president praised the collaborative relationship between businesses and the state government, highlighting the availability of land, competitive forestry and industrial areas as decisive factors for substantial investments in the area.

Details of the New Pulp Plant

The new pulp mill will be capable of producing 2.55 million tons of eucalyptus pulp per year, significantly contributing to Suzano’s production. During the construction period, the plant is expected to generate around 10,000 direct jobs at the peak of construction, in addition to a substantial number of indirect jobs. Once completed, the unit will employ approximately 3,000 people, including direct and outsourced workers.

The expansion of pulp production capacity is a strategic step for Suzano, which continues to be one of the leading companies in the sector. With the new mill, the company will not only strengthen its position in the market but also contribute to the economic development of the region and job creation.

The acceleration of the new pulp mill’s operation is promising news for the company, for the market and for the local economy. Following the development of projects like this highlights the importance of industry and its ability to drive economic growth. With a business-friendly environment and a strategic vision, Suzano is positioned for continued success and to contribute to the advancement of the region and the pulp sector.
