Created in 2009, the company Fibria is the product of the merger between Votorantim Pulp and Paper (VCP) and Aracruz Celulose, which resulted in the largest producer in the world of pulp, with the capacity to produce 5.8 million tons per year. It holds a 12% market share, with 37% in eucalyptus pulp and 22% in short fiber. It also produces special papers (thermal and carbonless) for printing and writing (coated, off-set and cut-size).

The Votorantim Group holds 29.3% of Fibria's total shares. The company shares are traded on the São Paulo and New York Stock Exchanges.

Fibria's principal attributes are its high productivity and its quality standards. To maintain this level of excellence, the Company operates according to very high standards in all processes along the productive chain – from eucalyptus cultivation to distribution of end products.

In March 2009, a new factory in Três Lagoas (Mato Grosso do Sul) began operations. It is characterized as the largest pulp factory in the world with one production line. Its capacity is 1.3 million tons per year. The project also includes a forested area with 140,000 hectares planted with eucalyptus, and 80,000 allotted for preservation, whose management received a favorable opinion from the Brazilian Forestry Certification Program (Cerflor). The forested areas of Barra do Riacho (Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia), Guaíba (Rio Grande do Sul) and Veracel (Bahia) are also certified by Cerflor. The forest units of Jacareí (São Paulo), Vale do Paraíba (São Paulo) and Guaíba (Rio Grande do Sul), as well as the chain of custody at the factory units in Jacareí (São Paulo), Piracicaba (São Paulo) and Guaíba (Rio Grande do Sul) have certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which is an international reference for sustainability. In total, the Company has 1.3 million hectares in six Brazilian states (São Paulo, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul), with 706,000 hectares of planted forest, 489,000 of preserved forest, and the remainder for other uses (roads, installations, etc.).

The Company was a sector pioneer in receiving Carbon Footprint certification, which measures gas emissions in the production stages in Jacareí (São Paulo), from forest planting to product delivery at the ports of destination.
