CMPC Celulose Riograndense, a CMPC subsidiary which emerged from the takeover of Fibria’s Guaíba mill, plans to continue the expansion plans that had already been developed together with Fibria. The pulp capacity of the Guaíba mill in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul is to be doubled on a long-term basis.
The company said the new pulp line, which will increase the mill’s annual capacity from 450,000 t to 1.3 million t of BEK, will be commissioned between 2014 and 2015 providing exchange rates and prices in the global pulp market develop accordingly.
