Papel Prensa moves to 75-tonne truck combinations for wood supply to San Pedro mill

Papel Prensa has begun using bitren truck combinations of up to 75 tonnes to haul forestry raw material from the Teodelina area of southern Santa Fe province to its San Pedro mill in Buenos Aires province. The Santa Fe provincial government authorised the corridor on Route 94 to the Buenos Aires border under Resolution 1027/2025, part of a freight-cost-reduction programme that officials say will extend to further corridors toward Gran Rosario ports.

Why this mattersHeavier combinations cut per-tonne wood freight cost for the San Pedro mill in a market where freight can reach a third of final product value.

• Papel Prensa began operating bitren units of up to 75 tonnes for wood supply from Teodelina, southern Santa Fe.
• Santa Fe's Dirección Provincial de Vialidad authorised the route on Provincial Route 94 to the Buenos Aires border under Resolution 1027/2025.
• The wood fibre feeds Papel Prensa's industrial complex in San Pedro, Buenos Aires province.
• Provincial officials describe the move as part of a wider programme of corridor authorisations toward Gran Rosario ports and the central/north Santa Fe production basins.
• Freight cost in Argentina can represent up to a third of a product's final value, according to the provincial Production Development Minister.
