Lumin

We’re excited to share the latest updates on the construction of our third plywood manufacturing mill, a milestone not only for Lumin, but for Uruguay’s forestry industry as a whole.

Located 12 km south of Melo along Route 8, this new facility will boost our annual production capacity to nearly 500,000 m³, making Uruguay the second-largest plywood producer in Latin America.

Work started in 2024 but in the last few months we’ve seen the machinery foundations completed; progress has been made on the macerator and mechanical assembly and we’ve completed the medium-voltage electrical installation.

By building the mill close to our own mature plantations, we’re minimizing environmental impact, optimizing logistics and reinforcing the sustainability of our entire production process.
