As part of our ongoing investments and commitment to continuous improvement, we’ve recently inaugurated a new Bimodal Logistics Platform in our main service depot close to Montevideo, Uruguay. This new depot provides excellent road and rail connections to the LUMIN® mill in Tacuarembó and the port of Montevideo.

The application of this state-of-the art technology allows the efficient management of stock in a safe manner that is timesaving and reduces the potential of damage during loading and transport, and enables real time traceability.

In this video you can see the innovative load plate platform in action illustrating the automation of the container loading process. Container volumes of LUMIN® plywood are pre-loaded onto a platform which then moves perfectly into a container ready for transportation.

This is one of many ways we’re driving efficiencies across our business, ensuring we remain at the forefront of innovation in the industry across the region.
