With a forest reserve of over 6000 hectares, Flosul
Indústria e Comércio de Madeira Ltda.
uses all the technology it has incorporated in 40
years of history to produce timber for the most
varied uses. The company offers products to the
furniture industry, civil construction, street furniture
and also wood for energy generation and industrial
processes. Flosul increased its activities in the
segment when it created its Sawmill Unit and the
Wood Preservation Plant, becoming a reference company
in the Brazilian and the international market.
Among the most frequent uses of treated wood are
the civil construction and electric and telephonic
poles. Its rusticity is ideal for internal spaces
(apparent wood to support mezzanines) as well as
external ones (wood beams). The product offered
by Flosul may be also utilized in aquatic ambient
due to the chemical treatment it receives.
Always concerned about improving its raw materials,
the company has developed programs to optimize productivity
by selecting and cloning the superior trees. Flosul
is also attentive to environmental management and
plans its harvests based on a continuous forest
inventory.
Such environmental care made the FSC (Forest Stewardship
Council, or Conselho de Manejo Florestal, a worldwide-known
organization that promotes good management of natural
and planted forests, certifying the origins of the
forestry resources) award Flosul with its seal in
1999. Flosul was the first company in Rio Grande
do Sul to receive this certification.
The products of the company are well
received all over the world due to their quality,
and the company’s good management of forest
reserves - attested by the FSC seal - and successful
business relations. Currently, Flosul’s market
focus is in Brazil, the southeast of Asia, Europe
and the U.S.A.

History
Flosul Indústria e Comércio de Madeiras
Ltda was inaugurated in March 1970, in Capivari
do Sul/RS. It started operating as a forestry company
and soon it conquered know-how and began investing
on the management of their own forest resources.
The cultivation of eucalyptus, specifically the
Eucalyptus Grandis, led to the creation of the Sawmill
Unit and the Wood Preservation Plant. Such technical
improvements allow the company to currently produce
from rough lumber to sawn and preserved wood, diversifying
their product offer.
In 1997, through research and development, FLOSUL
established its Drying Complex and the Manufactured
Products Unit. In 1999 it conquered the FSC certificate
- Forest Stewardship Council, or Conselho de Manejo
Florestal – organization that promotes the
proper management of natural and planted forests.
In 40 years of history, Flosul has
increased its product line, established tradition
and has been recognized by the Brazilian and the
international market.
