of all production technologies and equipment for Fibria's Horizonte 2 pulp mill
at its Três Lagoas unit in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The new production
line will have an annual pulp production capacity of 1.75 million tons. Combined
with its existing capacity, already in operation, the Três Lagoas unit will
reach a total annual production capacity of 3 million tons, making it one of the
world's largest eucalyptus pulp production sites. It was agreed not to disclose
the order value; however typical order values of comparable reference projects
are in the magnitude of approximately 600 million Euros. The contract is
expected to be put into force during the third quarter of 2015.
