Altri appoints João Manso Neto as CEO of its wholly-owned subsidiary Energias Renováveis, S.A. (Greenvolt).
João Manso Neto has a professional background with over 30 years of relevant experience of leadership and management of global complex businesses related, in particular, with the energy sector, having performed roles of general management, strategy and businesses development.
Greenvolt materialises the presence of Altri in the sector of renewable energy. Currently, it operates five energy power plants through forest biomass with approximately 97 MW of installed capacity, hence allowing Altri to establish its integration strategy between the forestry sector producing biomass and the production of energy from this renewable resource.
Under the leadership of João Manso Neto and with the great know-how and expertise that will input to the business, Greenvolt intends to consolidate its leadership position in the national market and enhance as a reference player within the renewable energy in the international market, not only through forest biomass – a segment which will continue to be the company’s core business, with undoubted skills –, but also through innovative models of solar and wind energy.
Altri is a leading European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and, more recently, a producer of dissolving pulp. The company is also a relevant player in the field of forest-based renewable energy.
