Suzano anticipates further production potential at its Cerrado pulp mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo, world's largest single-fibre-line mill for the production of market eucalyptus pulp.
The mill could produce around 2.7 million t of pulp annually from 2027 onwards, exceeding its nominal capacity of 2.55 million t., according to EUWID citing an investor presentation hold recently by Suzano.
According to this presentation, no additional investments would be required to meet this increase. Suzano attributes the higher output potentials to operational efficiency gains and the high quality of the facility.
The pulp mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo, located in Mato Grosso do Sul, commenced operations in July 2024. Already in early 2025 the facility had reached its nominal annual production capacity of 2.55 million ton, “significantly ahead of schedule”, according to Euwid.
Suzano attributes the mill's swift ramp-up was by several factors, including an experienced operating team, an extended training programme prior to start-up, and the early commissioning and testing of individual plant components.
