 kilometers from the port of Santos. The Mucuri unit, which primarily services the external market, is strategically located approximately 250 kilometers from Portocel, a port that specializes in the exportation of paper and pulp, and approximately 320 kilometers from the port of Vitória. The Imperatriz unit, in Maranhão, which also primarily services the external market, is located approximately 600 kilometers from the port of Itaqui. The proximity of our forests, factories, Brazilian clients and ports allows us to enjoy relatively low transportation costs, which, in turn, provides a competitive cost structure for exports.

In addition, the Brazilian market may take advantage of Jacareí mill’s proximity to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while the Aracruz mill has the one of the best logistics in the industry, approximately three kilometers to the Portocel port facility. The Três Lagoas and the Ribas do Rio Pardo mills are located near the “ Malha Paulista” railway in the southeast of Brazil, ensuring the cost competitiveness of this mill, although distance from the port is approximately 750 and 850 kms.

Port Operations

We conduct operations in the port of Itaqui, (state of Maranhão), port of Santos (state of São Paulo) and port of Barra do Riacho (namely Portocel - state of Espírito Santo).
