SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masisa is
evaluating the possibility of building its third plant in Brazil in the
city of Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul. This plant is expected to become the
company's first particleboard plant in Brazil.
"Masisa has decided, subject to Board approval, to build a
particleboard plant, which is a modification to the original MDF project
the company was planning to carry out in Brazil that had been previously
announced to the market. Supply and demand studies made by Masisa led us to
decide on installing a particleboard line instead of the construction of an
MDF line that we had been studying for over a year," said Enrique Cibi�,
Masisa�s CEO.
