The beginnings of the company are linked to the operational launch of our Valdivia Plant, in 1951.

The installation has been renewed and updated several times in order to maintain it at an optimum technological and environmental level.
Empresas CMPC decided to invest in a second paperboard production line, which was built in the town of Yerbas Buenas, with an initial investment of 230 MMUSD, Maule Plant was inaugurated in 1998, with a production capacity of 150 thousand tons per year. In a similar way to the Valdivia Plant, Maule Plant has been rebuilt several times, being the last one in 2018, where 122 MMUSD were invested, with positive impacts on the environment, productive capacity, performance and quality of its products.

Both plants have the certifications ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, which demonstrate the serious concern for the quality of their products, without neglecting the balance of the environment and the environment, and those who work with us.

It had an initial production of 5,000 ton per year, a figure that currently reaches 70,000 tons per year, thanks to two major reforms of the paper machine and its services, one carried out during the year 1991, another executed in 2006 and the most recent one carried out in 2015. These reforms also included treatment plants for cuttings and effluents that preserve the environmental balance of the area, as well as a boiler for forest biomass.
