Our Research and Development work is oriented to the genetic improvement of the genera Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Pinus and Grevillea for the production of solid wood. As a result, we obtain more productive afforestation and we reduce the pressure on native forests.
It aims to achieve trees with good stem straightness, good diameter, height and volumetric growth, high resistance to diseases and low cracking rates. The breeding technique allows the best characteristics of each individual to be selected to combine them and capitalize on the genetic knowledge of each parent, with the aim of optimizing the production and quality of the wood.
The program is now in its third generation and has resulted in improvements in growth, wood quality, resistance to pests and diseases, and tolerance to adverse weather factors.
Years of experience in research and development
Base populations from
+20 CountriesTwo-thirds of our annual seedling production is clonal. Based on the genetic basis evaluated in our breeding program, we produce commercial clones for the production of solid wood.

By-products of our harvesting and forest production are sent to Renewable Energy Sources (FRESA), the thermal power plant of Grupo Insud that produces electricity from forest biomass, located in Virasoro, Corrientes (Argentina). This synergy allows us to give circularity to our forest residues, reduce CO2 emissions and the risk of fires in plantations.
