As part of the significant investment in the expansion and internationalization of its production activities, the "Portucel Soporcel Group" has taken the decision to change its corporate brand to "The Navigator Company".

Portucel Soporcel remained well after the privatization of the company to Semapa in 2004, as one of the largest beneficiaries of state business grants and incentives due to its strategic interest for both Portugal's exportation and local eucalyptus economies.

In 1967, at the Setúbal mill, Inapa began its operations in a production unit integrated with Portucel, transforming pulp into paper that was sold throughout Europe.

Portucel bought Papéis Inapa in 2000, thus creating a strategic partnership of great importance in initiating the restructuring process of the pulp and the paper sector in Portugal.

Due to the Carnation Revolution in Lisbon on 25 April 1974, the project which included both forestation and construction of industrial facilities in Angola, was delayed and changed.

The Portucel Soporcel Group is responsible for woodland assets in Portugal, totaling approximately 120 thousand hectares.
