Non-stop deliveries to customers from team in Moju

Nov 20, 2024

After a successful establishment of the wood chip production facility in Moju, the team on site has been working around the clock with production to meet demands from customers. Here is what Eternali COO Gustavo Silveira is saying about the start of Eternali’s first production facility.

How has it been since you started the production in Moju?

It has been intense but also fun. Already on the first day after the chipper was assembled and ready to go, we had to produce a large volume to our first customer, Combio Energia. The team in Moju has showed great moral but also creativity in solving different challenges when jumping right into production. To be efficient we had to finetune the machine and feeding as well as the various other steps of the production as we went along. But as said, it has been great fun to see production go from nothing one day to a tremendous volume the next. Our efficiency is improving every day, and we will continue to finetune the operations during the coming months. 

What kind of feedback have you had from Combio Energia?

Combio Energia is really happy both with the quality of the product as well as our team’s ability to produce the requested volume in such a short time. They have been great to work with since we also learn a lot from such a big buyer, in all from design of a flexible loading dock to different logistical routs and more. I am also proud of that Combio Energia increased their volume already after one week of deliveries from Moju.

What are the most important learnings from Moju to bring to the next facility?

From the establishment of Moju, from empty land plot to a finalised facility, we today have a great understanding of what suppliers to use, in all from electrical services to warehouse construction. This will save us time as well as money when now establishing our next facility. We also today have a much better understanding of the logistical solutions we must have in place when initiating our sourcing. But foremost we have a great team in Moju that will be crucial for the team at the next facility, to learn from and to bounce ideas off of.
