The decision to introduce vertical production has proved to be a significant competitive differential for Duratex in the Brazilian market. The Company has approximately 163,000 hectares of planted forest, on approximately 237,000 hectares of land, principally of eucalyptus trees which are close to the industrial plants. In 2013 this ensured the supply of 93% of the wood needed for the manufacture of the wood panels and boards in the Wood Division, at a lower cost in logistics terms.
