Paraná Wood Indústria Madeireira is fully able to meet any company specifications
Eucalyptus – originated in Australia – was introduced in Brazil around 1900 to meet the growing demand for firewood. From the 1950’s, with the advancement of studies on wood, eucalyptus started to be used for other purposes, since it provides a high-density, resistant, and highly durable wood. Furniture, civil construction, pulp, and biomass are among its uses, as well as packaging and the generation of energy.
Paraná Wood Indústria Madeireira (PWIM) works exclusively with eucalyptus wood – from the Eucalyptus urograndis genetic variety, produced in 1,460 hectares of fully-owned forests with FSC certification in its products, which are currently aimed at the packaging area, furniture industry, transport, and the generation of energy. Two of the largest packaging companies in Brazil feature among its clients – Embalatec and Ripack, which vouch for the quality of the products. The products we provide are dry wood, wood for packaging, pallets, stands, wood chips, and biomass.
Dry wood is used by the furniture industry. According to Douglas Mendes, commercial manager at PWIM, the timber company is adapted to meet any specification of cutting sizes requested by the clients. “They send us the specification they need and we produce it”, he says. The principle is the same for wood for packaging, stands, and pallets. “Together with the client, we design the specific cuts and sizes they need to ensure resistance, quality and storing conditions”, he adds.
Wood chips and biomass complete the list of products at PWIM. They are recommended for replacing the use of non-renewable energies such as oil, coal, and natural gas in industries, metallurgies, chicken farms, or rural properties because they don’t have a negative impact on the environment and are a feasible option, since it is a cheaper energy both by ton and by unit of heat. Eucalyptus chips, formed by pieces of wood derived from mill products, undergoing a drying process, is one of the best options for its high heating power and low cost. Biomass, formed by twigs, leaves, and husk from eucalyptus trees that are not used in the mills and are shredded, has a good burning degree, being the ideal product for large furnaces, which demand a great amount of material for the generation of energy.
