HELSINKI, Oct. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The 16,000th PONSSE forest machine was completed in the end of September at Ponsse's factory in Vieremä, Finland. The PONSSE Ergo harvester delivered to Celulose Nipo-Brasileira S.A. (CENIBRA) will operate at eucalyptus plantations in Brazil to meet the needs of local pulp production.

As a result of this co-operation we have been able to develop our products to meet the customer's needs even better. I would like to thank Cenibra for the excellent partnership so far. I would also like to thank Ponsse personnel that have made all this possible in Brazil," says Marko Mattila, Sales, Service and Marketing Director, Ponsse Plc
