At Sonae Arauco, we believe that talent
grows where opportunity
meets ambition.
Across our industrial sites and offices, there are many stories of people who
have dared to evolve – changing roles, discovering new skills, or taking their
careers to the next level.
Here, we bring those journeys to the spotlight.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL OPPORTUNITIES. REAL PATHS.
”I was given the opportunity to move between countries
and between areas based not only on my willingness
to experience new things and work with different people
and in different areas, but also because of the
acknowledgment of my capacity. So being part of different
teams, helping people grow, nurturing them when they are
young, and also contributing to always improving and
making things better and different,I think it is a great
challenge and something that I really like to embrace.”

”The company's support has always been very
visible. Throughout my career, I have had
access to technical training and projects that
have always challenged my abilities. I have
also had the opportunity to work with leaders
who have inspired me, trusted me, and
motivated me to grow. Internal mobility and
talent appreciation are real here and make a
difference.”

”One of the advantages of Sonae Arauco is
that it has companies in many different locations
and can offer people experiences that not all
companies can provide. Whether it's trying out
other areas or gaining international experience,
if this matches the person's aspirations, it is
extremely enriching professionally.”
ADELAIDE ALVES
Group R&D and Product
Development Director
- Maia, Portugal
”At that time, I wasn’t aware that one day I
would take over the entire plant. The opportunity
to achieve great things here and take on
leadership responsibilities came gradually.
Sonae Arauco has supported me throughout my
entire career — whether through trust,
development opportunities, or the chance to
take on responsibility.”
FRANK GÜNNEMANN

”The company has supported me from the
beginning and has been vital in enabling me
to achieve, at least, the goals I have always set
for myself in my work. In terms of training and
information, it has always been consistent.”
