In other news, Suzano has acquired Kimberly-Clark’s Brazilian tissue business including a factory located in Mogi das Cruzes and the Neve tissue brand. The operation includes installed capacity of 130,000 tons of tissue per year. The transaction is subject to compliance with previous conditions, such as approval by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and will not impact Suzano’s financial health or level of indebtedness. The union of Kimberly-Clark’s tissue business in Brazil with Suzano’s consumer goods operation complements product categories and geographies. Suzano operates mainly in the markets of toilet paper, paper towels and napkins. Kimberly-Clark’s product line features toilet paper, napkins, wet wipes, paper wipes and dry wipes. The lines of children’s and adult diapers and female care goods were not included in the negotiation.
