Sateri Holdings Limited is one of the largest specialty cellulose producers in the world. Sateri produces different grades of high-purity dissolving wood pulp and viscose staple fiber, which are natural raw-materials and key ingredients to everyday items from textiles, baby wipes and sunglass frames, to soft ice-cream, sausage casings and pharmaceuticals, and industrial products such as tires.

Sateri has a fully vertically integrated business which enables the company to achieve industry leading margins and earnings that are more resilient to market volatility. Sateri's upstream business in Brazil consists of a secure renewable plantation that grows eucalyptus trees sitting on 150,000 hectares of freehold land, and a state-of-the-art mill to produce high-purity dissolving wood pulp. Sateri's downstream business in China consists of production facilities that use the dissolving wood pulp to produce viscose staple fiber to capture the fast growing consumer market demand seen in China.
