Suzano has started operations this week at its new fluff pulp production line located in its Limeira mill in Brazil's São Paulo state. This R$490 million investment increases Suzano's total fluff pulp production capacity by more than 400%, from 100,000 to 440,000 tonnes per year.
The project, which Suzano first announced in October of 2023, involved converting the existing pulp line at the Limeira unit into a flexible machine, capable of producing both Eucafluff® and market pulp.
