Brazilian company BrasPine is building a new sawmill in Uruguay. BrasPine’s first sawmill outside of Brazil is scheduled to go into operation in 2027.

BrasPine has launched a major greenfield sawmill project in Uruguay and chose MiCROTEC as the sole supplier of scanning solutions across the entire production process.

The Brazilian manufacturer of pine frames and mouldings is expanding its presence in Uruguay with a new sawmill project with the name Oceano. Once fully operational, the sawmill is expected to become one of the largest in South America, with a projected production capacity of 35,000 cubic meters of sawn timber per month.

As part of the project developed in cooperation with Linares, MiCROTEC will supply all scanners for the logyard, sawline, green mill, and the dry mill, including four Logeye, two Truespin, and two Goldeneye Transverse scanners. The mechanical lines for the sawmill are supplied by Holtec, Linck, and Springer.

With this investment, BrasPine significantly strengthens its production capabilities across South America and sets a new benchmark for modern, high-capacity sawmill operations in the region.

“Our goal was to select a supplier with whom we have built a long-standing relationship. This is not the right moment to take unnecessary risks, and working with a well-established supplier with proven experience in our region is a key consideration for us. We look forward to making this a successful project together,” says Pedro Pinilla, Industrial Director at BrasPine.

“After delivering scanners for several projects to BrasPine in the past, we are proud that they have once again chosen MiCROTEC for this project. This decision builds on a long-term partnership and reflects mutual trust in proven solutions and technical expertise,” says Ronald Klotz, Sales Account Manager for South America at MiCROTEC.
