Raw Material Clerical Specialist

At Suzano, we believe innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. We plant and grow trees, transforming this renewable raw material into innovative and sustainable bioproducts that are part of the everyday life of over 2 billion people. We cultivate life in many products—from notebooks that teach children, to diapers that protect babies, to biodegradable coffee cups that do not harm the environment, to absorbent papers and sustainable packaging.

Suzano S.A. is the largest pulp manufacturer in the world, one of the largest paper producers in Latin America and the leader in the toilet paper segment in Brazil. We learn from trees that life is always renewing itself and, from them, it is possible to create sustainable products and solutions for a better future. On October 1, 2024 Suzano purchased the Pine Bluff, AR paper mill and the Waynesville, NC extrusion facility from Pactiv Evergreen.

The Pine Bluff Paper Mill is located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, less than an hour from Little Rock in scenic southeast Arkansas. It is the largest industrial employer in Jefferson County. Opened in 1958, Pine Bluff is home to the world's largest gable‑top liquid packaging paperboard machine. In addition to producing paperboard for cartons, the facility also produces coated paper for magazines.
