Suzano Starts-Up New Fluff Pulp Production Line at Limeira Mill in Sao Paulo

Suzano Eucafluff This R$490 million investment increases Suzano’s total fluff pulp production capacity by more than 400%, from 100,000 to 440,000 tonnes per year.

Dec. 17, 2025 - Suzano has started operations this week at its new fluff pulp production line located in its Limeira mill in Brazil's São Paulo state. This R$490 million investment increases Suzano's total fluff pulp production capacity by more than 400%, from 100,000 to 440,000 tonnes per year.

The project, which Suzano first announced in October of 2023, involved converting the existing pulp line at the Limeira unit into a flexible machine, capable of producing both Eucafluff® and market pulp. Eucafluff is used in the production of absorbent and personal hygiene products, such as baby and adult diapers, sanitary pads and pet pads. Market pulp is used for making products like toilet paper, printing and writing papers, and paper packaging.

Launched in 2015, Eucafluff is the world's first fluff pulp made from eucalyptus, delivering unique advantages like enhanced softness and flexibility, which translate into thinner, more discreet and comfortable products. Its high compression capability enables smaller packaging, reducing plastic film usage and lowering transportation and storage costs for the industry.

Suzano is the world's leading pulp supplier, a major paper and packaging producer in the Americas, and one of Brazil's biggest employers.
