Factory of the Future: Building Smarter and More Sustainable Mill

Digital transformation is reshaping industries around the world, helping companies improve efficiency, strengthen decision-making and advance sustainability performance. At CMPC, one of the ways this transformation is taking place is through Factory of the Future, a strategic program designed to make our mills smarter, more connected and more sustainable.

By leveraging data, advanced analytics, and enhanced connectivity, the program helps optimize processes, improve operational visibility, and unlock new opportunities for continuous improvement. As industrial operations account for more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, solutions that enable greater efficiency and more responsible resource use are becoming increasingly important.

Today, more than 2,500 employees across 9 industrial facilities are helping drive this journey. By combining operational expertise with digital tools, teams across CMPC are improving performance, enhancing decision-making, and identifying new ways to create value throughout the production process.

The program is also strengthening integration across operations by standardizing digital solutions and enabling real-time access to information. This provides a stronger foundation for operational excellence while supporting the company's sustainability ambitions.

As Factory of the Future continues to evolve, CMPC will expand these capabilities across its operations through 2026 and beyond. The ambition is clear: to develop mills that continuously optimize their processes, increase efficiency, and further improve sustainability outcomes.

Factory of the Future is more than a digital transformation initiative. It reflects CMPC's vision for the next generation of manufacturing, where people, technology and sustainability work together to create lasting value.
