The CMPC Pulp Mill in Guaíba, Rio Grande do Sul, Will Receive an Investment of US$ 530 Million to Modernize and Expand Its Production Capacity

The Chilean multinational CMPC announced that it will invest around US$ 530 million in its Guaíba plant in the state of Rio Grande do Sul to modernize and expand its production capacity by an additional 350,000 tons. The project, named BioCMPC, will further improve the operations of the unit, which has already been achieving good performances, surpassing the mark of 2 million tons of pulp and paper produced in 12 months, between May 2020 and April 2021.

Previously, the Company Had Already Made Its Largest Investment in the Unit in Rio Grande do Sul

In 2015, the company expanded its operations with a second pulp production line. The R$ 5 billion investment nearly quadrupled the mill’s production capacity, increasing it from 450,000 tons of pulp per year to 1.75 million tons of pulp per year.

The expansion created 10,000 direct jobs and 30,000 indirect jobs, as well as generating a workforce training program, benefiting approximately 9,000 professionals. The construction of Guaíba 2 also stimulated local suppliers, with the hiring of about 180 companies from Rio Grande do Sul and tax revenues of approximately R$ 102 million in ICMS and R$ 2.2 billion in local purchases.

The Chilean Multinational Will Also Invest R$ 2 Million in a New Air Quality Monitoring Station

CMPC will install another monitoring station that will measure and present data on air quality in Guaíba. The new equipment, which will be installed on the southern side and will complement the existing station on the northern side of the mill, has a planned investment of R$ 2 million and will be integrated with Fepam’s official air monitoring network, providing real-time information to the ongoing monitoring and control process.

The implementation is being carried out voluntarily by the company, which plans to extend coverage to the entire air basin of Guaíba. This measure improves and enhances the monitoring information of this important environmental parameter.
