The regional university will specialize in mechatronics, renewable energy, transport and logistics.<br \/>\nThe region is home to a community of over 4,000 students who will now be able to complete university studies without having to leave their hometowns. The construction of the Fray Bentos ITR is estimated to take 14 months.<br \/>\n\u201c<em>This investment is a token of UPM\u2019s commitment to Uruguay<\/em> &#8211;\u00a0says Juha K\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4inen, Vice President of UPM\u2019s Uruguay Operations. <em>It shows how our company strengthens the communities in which it operates by supporting education and the development of the local forestry sector. We are happy to announce this cooperation now that UPM is celebrating its 25th anniversary in Uruguay<\/em>\u201d.<br \/>\n\u201c<em>Being able to hire highly qualified local talent is very important to us. This investment in education will create further development opportunities for generations to come, enhancing the overall competitiveness of the forest industry in Uruguay in the future,<\/em>\u201d adds K\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4inen. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.metaprintart.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FrayBentos.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-14025\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metaprintart.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/FrayBentos.jpg\" alt=\"Fray Bentos\" width=\"162\" height=\"121\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nUnder the agreement, UPM will fund the university, which will be based on a cooperative model between industry and the academia, maximizing mutual benefit from each other\u2019s capabilities. Students will be able to participate in internships and hands-on training in the Uruguayan agro-industrial sector. Both parties will encourage UPM technicians and professionals to participate in Fray Bentos ITR courses. UPM and UTEC will also work on joint R&amp;D projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPM in Uruguay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UPM\u2019s operations in Uruguay include the Fray Bentos pulp mill, the forestry and wood sourcing company UPM Forestal Oriental which has two nurseries, as well as the UPM Foundation, which in cooperation with local organisations contributes to education, entrepreneurship and improving the quality of life through projects focusing on the rural areas where the company operates.<br \/>\nThe Fray Bentos pulp mill started operations in 2007 and it is still one of the world\u2019s most modern and efficient pulp mills.<br \/>\nIts annual production capacity is 1.3 million tonnes of chemical eucalyptus pulp. Besides pulp, the Fray Bentos mill is a significant biomass based energy producer &#8211; its electricity production accounting for 10% of Uruguay\u2019s total energy production. The mill\u2019s wood raw material comes from sustainably managed local plantations.<br \/>\nUPM Forestal Oriental owns about 230,000 hectares of land, of which about 60% is planted with eucalyptus. The rest of the land is protected or is used for forestry-related infrastructure, cattle grazing and other non-plantation operations. All of UPM&#8217;s forest plantations are certified to FSC and PEFCTM\u00a0 standards. About 70% of the Fray Bentos mill\u2019s fibre wood comes from the plantations managed by UPM Forestal Oriental and the rest is supplied by the company\u2019s long term partners.<br \/>\nIn Uruguay, UPM has 550 direct employees and employs indirectly around 3,400 people. The value chain of UPM\u2019s Uruguay operations creates altogether 6,400 jobs and its contribution to Uruguay\u2019s GDP is approximately 1.3%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPM and the Technical University of Uruguay sign agreement on new regional University in Fray Bentos<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":26422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7731],"tags":[8138,8139,8140,8141],"class_list":["post-30729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-en","tag-forestry-and-wood-sourcing-en","tag-fray-bentos-en","tag-sustainability-en","tag-uruguay-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
