About Santa Maria

Located in Guarapuava, in the Center-West of Paraná, Southern Brazil, Santa Maria stands out as an important group operating in the areas of paper, wood, reforestation, and energy. For over 40 years – precisely in 1962 – Santa Maria began its activities serving the national timber market. In the 1970s, it diversified its activities with the introduction of the first paper production machine, in addition to the construction of a hydroelectric power plant. In the 1980s, with the installation of a second machine, the paper unit was expanded. Santa Maria's products are subjected to strict quality control standards and management programs, guaranteeing an excellent final product, through socio-environmental responsibility recognized by the FSC seal. Santa Maria serves the most demanding paper, log, and forest markets by investing in the qualification and training of employees through training programs and benefits extended to families. The Mission, Vision, and Values guide the commercial partnership policy, which makes the relationship with Suppliers, Employees, and Partners important.
