Arboreal was present at the world’s most prominent event in wood manufacturing and construction, with a large delegation of experts and a booth made from Uruguayan pine.

Uruguay made its mark at the International Mass Timber Conference, held from March 26-28 in Portland, United States. Arboreal’s participation in this prestigious international event highlights its role as a regional leader in the wood and sustainable construction sector. From its sawmill to the design of Mass Timber buildings (engineered wood products), Arboreal has established itself as a vertically integrated company committed to innovation and excellence at every step of its production process.

Arboreal representatives expressed their pride in representing Uruguay at the International Mass Timber Conference 2024 and contributing to sustainable construction. They added that the booth design is a testament to the quality of the company’s wood and the capabilities of the Mass Timber plant, the only one of its kind in Uruguay. This experience allowed the delegation to showcase the opportunities offered by Uruguay’s forestry industry in the global context of sustainable construction.

This edition of the International Mass Timber Conference featured over 3,000 participants and more than 180 exhibitors. The event is renowned for bringing together experts, professionals, and industry leaders in wood construction from around the world to share knowledge, experiences, and trends in the manufacturing and use of Mass Timber products in buildings.

Arboreal’s booth covered approximately 18 square meters and was constructed with over 45 wood pieces (Cross-Laminated Timber and Glue-Laminated Timber), representing a volume of nearly 9 cubic meters.
