History and when Suzano S.A. was founded
Suzano’s origins date back to 1924, with early activities in paper manufacturing in São Paulo. Over the following decades, the company expanded through industrial development, incorporation of new paper-production technologies and the establishment of plantation-grown eucalyptus forests to ensure supply stability.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Suzano advanced industrial capacity and consolidated its domestic market presence, laying the foundation for large-scale operations. In the 1990s, Suzano accelerated international expansion, building commercial relationships with major paper manufacturers in Europe and Asia.
This era also marked advances in forestry research and sustainable management practices, including genetic improvement of eucalyptus species, which significantly increased productivity. In the early 2000s, Suzano invested in large industrial units that strengthened its position as a major exporter of eucalyptus pulp.
A pivotal milestone occurred in 2019, when Suzano Papel e Celulose merged with Fibria Celulose, forming the world’s largest eucalyptus-pulp producer. The merger enhanced global competitiveness, expanded production capacity and elevated Suzano’s presence across international markets.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company continued to invest in forest expansion projects, industrial modernization, digital transformation, bioproduct development and long-term sustainability initiatives, reinforcing its position as a global leader in renewable, forest-based materials.
