BRAZIL (Notifix).- At the end of the first half of 2013, two important investments should be concluded, which will enable the Company to take a significant leap forward in operational terms.

Investments should be completed at the unit in Taquari (RS) with the removal of the production bottleneck in the MDP line. As a consequence, additional capacity of approximately 230,000 m3 will be added, raising the total production capacity at that unit to 670,000 m3 . The second investment to be concluded is at the new MDF unit being installed at Itapetininga (SP), with an annual production capacity of 520,000m3.
