Wood is at the core of our business, a natural raw material that combines technical performance with characteristics that support its use in a circular value chain, including reuse and recycling.
We are passionate about what we do and firmly believe in the wide range of applications that wood has to offer. Since our company was founded, we have focused on developing wood-based solutions for furniture, interior fit-out applications and the construction industry. Functionality, material quality and versatility are at the heart of our product development, enabling solutions that meet a broad range of requirements and applications.
Sonae Arauco has an industrial soul.
We seek excellence and long-term profitability along with our business partners. Our everyday dream is to take our clients’ ambitions further by offering an attractive combination of industrial expertise, functionality, quality, design and price.
To accomplish it, we rely on a multicultural team of approximately 2,500 people united by a culture of ethics and transparency, care and inclusiveness. We believe in teamwork, safe workplaces, cooperation and long-lasting partnerships.
Since its creation, our company’s essence is sustained by a diverse workforce.
We are a group of about 2,500 people, from 38 different nationalities, working in 8 countries and 2 different continents. Because of this geographical diversity, we encourage our people to develop an international career.
We believe in the value of diversity and we are aware that this is one of the factors that is actually taking our company further.
Sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy and how we create value for customers, employees, partners and communities.
Our approach is built on the responsible use of wood, certified sourcing, circularity and the incorporation of recycled wood into our production processes. By promoting the efficient use of resources and extending the value of wood through recycling, we support a more circular bioeconomy.
As a renewable raw material, wood also stores carbon during its lifetime. Combined with our focus on resource efficiency and innovation, this helps position wood-based solutions as part of the transition towards a lower-carbon future.
As part of its Industry 4.0. journey, Sonae Arauco has been investing in advanced technologies to transform its industrial operations.

By leveraging these capabilities across our industrial sites, we aim to enhance efficiency, quality and operational performance, reinforcing Sonae Arauco's long-term competitiveness and resilience.
We believe that our people take us further every day and support personal and professional development, through constant training, helping them to achieve their goals.
