THE CORRUGATED BOARD IN 2007
Corrugated Board sales soared 3.3% in 2007, amounting 2,250 thousand tons. Such growth is the result of the combination of two factors: a) improvement of the internal market; b) continuing deliveries to industries exporters of meat, fruit and tobacco leaf.
In the first quarter the industry registered growth of 3.4% compared to the first quarter of 2006. The fruit export industry had major impact in our sales.
The second quarter was our best, with sales 8.3% higher than the same period in 2006. In this quarter the internal market initiated its positive movement, especially in the sectors related to hygiene and cleanliness. Additionally, deliveries to tobacco leaf exporters were greatly improved.
The third quarter, which historically is the best, recorded weaker sales if compared to the previous quarter, reflecting a decrease of the internal market movement. Sales were, however, 2.3% higher than the third quarter of 2006.
Thus, the industry ended 2007 with growth of 3.3%, within our expectations, which were of 3% to 5% at the beginning of the year.
