NEW INDUSTRY MODEL
Founded in 2010, with the corner-
stone of the industrial plant laid in
Três Lagoas (Mato Grosso do Sul)
on June 15, Eldorado Brasil is a
joint stock corporation (business
corporation) specialized in produc-
ing eucalyptus pulp.
In 2016, its fourth operation year,
the company had its highest pro-
duction and sales volumes ever,
helping consolidate its position as
a global benchmark in the industry.
The company ended 2016 with
4,780 employees, advancing in
the insourcing process initiated
the previous year by hiring its
own teams for the forestry, timber
transportation, security and clean-
ing areas, among others. Eldorado
also continued to prioritize prac-
tices aimed at developing and
retaining employees.
In 2016, the seedling nursery
located in Andradina (SP) reached a
quality index of 94% while reduc-
ing production costs by 7%. By
using company-owned and leased
lands in Mato Grosso do Sul for
planting eucalyptus, the company
has been investing in obtaining its
own forestry base as a means of
driving excellence. During the year,
approximately 70% of the timber
processed at the Três Lagoas facil-
ity came from company-owned
forests certified by the Forest
Stewardship Council. Another
advance in the period was the 55
km reduction in the average forest
radius, helping drive productivity
and efficiency in forestry
operations.
In the industrial park, which runs
clean processes for energy genera-
tion, water withdrawal, effluent
and waste generation, investments
in technology and operational
excellence contributed to the pro-
duction record. The volume totaled
1,638,000 metric tons of pulp,
2.6% higher than in 2015.
The company uses a flexible logis-
tics model, with its own port termi-
nal in Santos (SP) and the capacity
to operate in terminals in other
regions in the country. For exports,
Eldorado has been investing in
container transportation, which is
more competitive than break bulk
shipments.
With customers in more than 50
countries, the company supplies
the printing and writing, tissue
(comfort and personal hygiene),
packaging and special paper seg-
ments. In addition to its commer-
cial office in São Paulo, Eldorado
has three other offices manned by
specialized teams located strategi-
cally in the United States, Austria
and China. In 2016, sales reached
1,665,000 metric tons, an increase
of 6.6% over 2015.
To provide a sustainable response
to the increased demand for pulp,
influenced particularly by growth
in consumption in the emerging
countries and in the tissue and
special papers segments, Eldorado
is advancing in its Vanguarda 2.0
project, with a projected invest-
ment of R$ 10 billion that will en-
able an annual production of
2.5 million metric tons.
1.64 million
metric tons, the compa-
ny's record production in
2016, an increase of 2.6%
