The change will occur gradually starting in early 2019, with conclusion scheduled for 2021.

The company said in the statement that the Itirapina unit has up-to-date technologies, “resulting from a more modern project and therefore more efficient from a productivity point of view, with greater flexibility to meet the technological demands for upgrades” in its product line.
