Once in Brazil, we travelled from the Duratex locations in Agudos and Taquari to Glorinha, a city in the State of Rio Grande

approximately 400,000 m³. All three lines are located in the same
facility. They are effi ciently sharing one fi nishing line.
Fibraplac carries out the surface-fi nishing of boards on four Siempelkamp
short-cycle presses. The Fibraplac machine park also
includes a laminate fl ooring line with a monthly capacity of
140,000 m², an impregnation line and a sawmill. Next to woodprocessing,
the company is an established producer of fi ber
cement board, water tanks, and plastic pipes. Furthermore, Fibraplac
is involved in completely other sectors. Hotels, shopping
centers, and a building company are also parts of the Group.
With this much diversifi cation, the company has indeed positioned
itself panic-proof!
