History and Development

Suzano was founded in 1924 in Brazil, initially focused on paper manufacturing. Over time, the company expanded its industrial base and developed plantation-grown eucalyptus forests to ensure a stable and scalable supply of raw materials.

The company gradually increased its production capacity and strengthened its position in international markets, supported by advances in forestry technology and sustainable management practices.

A key milestone was the merger with Fibria, which positioned Suzano as the world’s largest eucalyptus pulp producer and expanded its global footprint. In recent years, the company has focused on operational efficiency, digital transformation, and the development of new renewable biomaterials, reinforcing its leadership in the forest-based industry.
