cerca de 10%. No entanto, a Veracel se antecipou<br />

e, em 2011, realizou seu primeiro grande investimento<br />

em melhorias tecnológicas e expansão de<br />

capacidade na caldeira de recuperação da fábrica,<br />

com apenas 6 anos de operação. A iniciativa impulsionou<br />

a produção da fábrica para 1,1 milhão de<br />

toneladas de celulose ao ano, de forma consistente<br />

e estável, já a partir de 2012.<br />

Ari Medeiros, Diretor de Operações Industriais<br />

da Veracel Celulose , explica que o conceito do projeto<br />

da fábrica era de que somente em 2017 estaria<br />

pronta para produzir 1,1 milhão de toneladas de<br />

celulose ao ano. ”No entanto, a empresa demonstrou<br />

tecnológicas e investiu rapidamente, antecipando<br />

20 milhões de celulose produzidas 2 anos antes do<br />

previsto”, comemora Ari.<br />

Ari Medeiros, Director of Industrial Operations<br />

at Veracel Celulose, explains that the concept of the<br />

mill project was that it would only be ready to produce<br />

1.1 million tons of pulp per year in 2017. “However,<br />

bringing forward the increase in our production capacity<br />

by almost 10 years and allowing us to reach<br />

the milestone of 20 million tons of pulp produced 2<br />

years ahead of schedule,” Medeiros celebrates.<br />

This initial investment set the tone for the<br />

mill, and the Company has continued to invest in<br />

technology over the years, optimizing processes<br />

and strengthening safety and people management.<br />

In 2023 alone, the Company invested more than<br />

$ 100 million in improvements, new technologies,<br />
