Being one of the largest wood-based solutions players in the world, Sonae Arauco is working to improve people’s lives.

Wood is at the core of our business, a natural and recyclable raw material that combines technical performance and ecological credentials, like few others.

We are passionate about it and we believe in the value of wood in people’s lives. Thus, since our inception, we have been focused on developing sustainable solutions for furniture, interior design and the construction sectors. We know that, while putting wood solutions on the market, we are contributing to our Planet’s sustainability.

Sustainability

Sustainability is fully integrated into our essence and business strategy as we aim to be part of the paradigm shift to a more sustainable economic model.


The company’s commitment to sustainable development is borne out in its forest certification, the implementation of a circular bioeconomic model and the permanent integration of recycled wood into the industrial process. On top of that, having wood as its core raw material, our products have a notable capacity to retain CO2, an effective ally in addressing the climate change challenge.

Our aim is to leverage the full potential of the factories in each industrial domain to make Sonae Arauco an industrial benchmark, thus contributing to our company’s long-term sustainability.

Sonae Arauco has characteristics that derive from its history, but above all from its people, which allow us to work simultaneously in a company loaded with history, knowledge, and habits, and in a company that is still in the process of building its processes, global culture and routines.

Sonae Arauco is teamwork. I love the local and international teamwork spirit at Sonae Arauco, where everyone can contribute. Together we create more and each wheel makes us go a little faster every day.
Simon Drath, NEE Marketing Manager, Detmold
It has been an amazing experience working at Sonae Arauco. Everyone is so welcoming and openly willing to integrate us, from the Contacto Program, to the Sonae Arauco team. Never in a million years, I'd imagine having such an amazing environment at my first job, and I’m just so grateful for being part of the Sonae Arauco family for the past and future months!
Leonardo Freitas, IT Trainee, Maia
I started working at Sonae Arauco 17 years ago, and the feeling that characterises these years is that of belonging to a big family. The company is already a part of you, its evolution, its changes, always with the aim of becoming better.
Enrique Quirós, SWE Specification Manager, Madrid
Our great human team, the support of belonging to a multinational group, the great diversity between some days and others are a challenge to optimise processes, minimise losses and always improve. These are the real reasons for my passion for this work.
