World's largest producer of eucalyptus pulp--Suzano will enter the global textile fiber market

2021-03-05 08:21:08 MOFCOM

Suzano is the world's largest producer of eucalyptus pulp. Recently, Suzano has set up a joint venture with Finnish start-up Spinnova to invest 22 million euros to build its first plant in Finland and enter the global textile fiber market of more than 100 million tons per year.

The new joint venture will produce sustainable textile fibers for the first time from microfiber cellulose (MFC) of wood based on the technology developed by Spinnova. The new product can compete with cotton and VSF in cost and quality. With this product, Suzano will become an important player in the global textile market.

Suzano and Spinnova will have a 50% equity stake in the new company, which will have their own teams to market their products. Suzano is an investor in the Finnish start-up and now owns 23% of it.
