Ence’s biofactory in Pontevedra starts its annual technical shutdown, which will last until September 27. About 1,600 workers will operate in addition to the plant’s regular employees.
The company will implement a work plan to incorporate new technologies and improve existing ones. Ence will allocate an investment of Euro 10 million to these actions. A total of Euro 8 million will be invested in the maintenance of the biofactory’s efficiency. To this investment must be added Euro 2 million more for extraordinary investments to improve the facilities in terms of efficiency and digitalization in order to maintain Ence Pontevedra as a benchmark in its sector.
For Ence, the technical shutdown of its biofactories is a structural element of its operational strategy, as it is focused on optimizing several of the main axes of its management model: environmental and safety excellence, continuous improvement of its facilities and commitment to the community.
Ence is the leading European company in eucalyptus pulp production and the second in terms of market share.
