The subsidiary celebrated 50 years since the start-up of the Constitución Plant, which has established itself as one of the most important industrial hubs in the Maule Region. Since its beginnings in 1975, it has promoted employment, innovation, and sustainability, with close ties to the local community.

Located between the mountains and the sea, the facility produces UKP unbleached pulp from pine grown in sustainable forests. The pulp is exported to different global markets and used in products such as packaging paper, cardboard, fiber cement, and special containers.

During the commemorative ceremony, Cristián Infante, ARAUCO’s CEO, highlighted that “the Constitución Plant is the company’s oldest operating plant and a symbol of our evolution. It has been key in our transition from a local company to a global company, without ever losing our ties or pride in our origins in this beloved city.”

With more than 80% of its waste reused, online environmental monitoring, and progress toward energy efficiency, the Constitución Plant reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development, looking toward the future as part of a productive ecosystem that integrates conservation, employment, and regional progress.
