Our company
Our history is made of forest and wood
Founded in April 1968 by the De Zorzi brothers and their partners, Reflorestadores Unidos was a pioneer in introducing the species Taeda Pine to the region of Campos de Cima da Serra, in Rio Grande do Sul. Its plantings of over 10,000 hectares are distributed throughout the municipalities of Cambará do Sul, São Francisco de Paula, and Jaquirana. In addition to providing forest products directly to the consumer market, a large part of the harvest is intended for self-industrialization, in a fully vertically integrated process.
At Reflorestadores Unidos S.A., environmental responsibility is more than just a mandatory task. That is why our focus is on reforestation, in order to protect native trees and create an environmental legacy for future generations.

Our forests
Reflorestadores Unidos S.A. has Pinus Taeda as the most widely planted species in its forests, which is also one of the most commonly planted forest tree species in the south of Brazil due to climatic, topographic and edaphic factors.
In order to create forests of exceptional quality, the company has been investing in genetically improved seedlings from reliable tree breeding partners, which guarantees volume and excellent quality. State-of-the-art management techniques, associated with soil and weather conditions, allow us to achieve excellent forest growth indexes.
Not only has the quality of our forests been broadly recognized in Brazil but also in several countries where we operate. They supply our customers with raw materials in various sectors of the forestry industry.
The sustainability of the business guides our forest management plan, ensuring security and reliability for our customers. Logs from our forests comply with FSC® Controlled Wood requirements.
