Inaugurated in 2016, the Unit is fully dedicated to shipping the production to export markets, which ensures speed and competitiveness for the business. With built-up area of 24,000 m², the Unit has a 23.5-km railway line built by the company, which connects the Unit to the Central do Paraná railroad station and operates seven locomotives and 306 freight cars.

Intermodal, considered one of the world’s main logistics, cargo transportation and foreign trade fairs, is expected to attract over 33,000 professionals, mainly representatives of shippers from diverse sectors of the economy, warehouses, logistics condominiums, operators, trading houses and companies in general.
