Metso inaugurates new facilities in Araucária, Brazil
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on March 8, 2012 at 3 pm local Finnish time
Metso has inaugurated its new facilities in Brazil on March 8, 2012. The new
facilities, incorporating a machinery production and services unit and an
administrative office, are situated in Araucária, a metropolitan area of
Curitiba, in the state of Paraná. The facilities will reach full production
capacity by June 2012.
The investment value of the construction project was close to EUR 20 million.
The new facility is a milestone in Metso's 42-year history in Brazil. "Brazil,
along with China, is one of the countries in which Metso is focusing its
investments. The Araucária investment will be continued by further increasing
the capacity and capabilities of the facilities," says Celso Tacla, Area
President, South America, Pulp, Paper and Power, Metso.
On a land area of 60,000 m(2), of which 10,000 m(2) represent the built area,
the Araucária plant will generate 150 new jobs and some indirect jobs. Together
with the staff transferred from the earlier location in Curitiba, the total
number of personnel at the Araucária plant will rise to 500 when the operation
reaches its full capacity.
"The Araucária plant will improve Metso's capabilities in serving the pulp,
paper and power generation industries in South America where Metso has a wide
installed base and where several greenfield projects and new production lines
are to be supplied to customers e.g. in Brazil and Chile," adds Celso Tacla,
pointing out to a new cycle of the pulp and paper production expansion in South
America.
In addition to the production and administrative facilities in Araucária and
eight other locations in Brazil, Metso has offices in Chile, Peru and Argentina.
