- Abstract
This paper analyses how saturated markets seek options to expand its business through maximizing financial gains, being the favorable logistic infrastructure question determinant role in the facility of pulp and paper localization of the transnational Finish Company Botnia in Uruguay. The privileged country’s geopolitical localization in the South cone, between Brazil and Argentina, in the way of main international marine routes and in the middle of Buenos Aires – São Paulo route, also is evidenced. The Uruguay River navigability, strategic localization of Uruguayan ports and its national politics of tax and customs benefits, combined with distribution routes by roads, railroads and the estuary of Silver River, appears as an important competitive advantages in the process of facility implementation. The Uruguayan forestry policy and areas that gradually replaces livestock activity by eucalyptus, accumulating an important source of raw materials flow maintenance to this industry in a bigger quality than the usual in north hemisphere, place of Botnia’s production distribution, are also analyzed as process fundamental factors. In the logistic aspect of facility localization in Fray Bentos have an interesting strategic logistics with the utilization of low cost fluvial transportation combined with storage ways in moving ferries with a net of logistics partners very well structured, culminating in the elimination of a warehouse for production storage near of facility, decisive element for the costs advantage in the facility's localization in Uruguayan territory. This system may be considered ecologically correct, a “green logistics”.
