Our story was born from the passion of an entrepreneur and visionary: Mauricio Sirotsky Sobrinho. From his passion for communication and his business acumen came Grupo RBS, a leading multimedia communication company in Brazil and of the largest Rede Globo affiliate. His successors expanded his legacy of passion, courage and pioneering spirit. Jayme Sirotsky, Nelson Sirotsky and currently Eduardo Sirotsky Melzer expanded the operations of our company, consolidating its leadership in the media market in the South and breaking into new sectors. Today, RBS is a leader in the field of communication in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, producing content and entertainment on television, radio, newspaper and digital platforms. Through our digital business, e.Bricks, we have become a benchmark in the areas of digital media, mobile applications and targeted e-commerce, working in high growth sectors with innovative models and excellence in management. Inspired by our founder, we believe that growth is only possible when it considers the human aspect. People turn dreams into reality. We are passionate about people who make it happen, and we are passionate about making it happen as well. In the past five decades, the trajectory of Grupo RBS has been built by people who shared challenges. This is our strength, because we know that our future will be the size of the passion that we are able to inspire.

Eucatex S.A. Indústria e Comércio S.A. (“Eucatex” or the “Company”) was founded in 1951 and since then has been manufacturing and selling ceiling lining and insulating material from eucalyptus fiber. These are low-density products with thermal and acoustic insulation properties, which were largely used in the Brazilian civil construction market. In the beginning of the ‘80s, financial resources generated by its operations since foundation were invested in the implementation of production lines for hardboard (high density wood fiber panels), which still is one of the flagships of the Company. Currently, Eucatex is the second largest producer of wood fiber panels in the foreign market, with a market share of 41%. In 1996, Eucatex started to manufacture MDP panels and currently has a market share of 16% in this segment in Brazil. In addition, it is the domestic leader in ceiling lining and insulating materials, wall partitions, in addition to operating in the door and flooring markets. Although Eucatex is traditionally known for its wood-related products, such as wood panels, MDP panels and related products, it also has a manufacturing line entirely integrated for the manufacture of paint (for own consumption and to the market) and resins, expanded vermiculite-based products (used in the manufacturing of wall partitions and ceiling linings with thermal insulating properties) and peat, in addition to galvanized steel roofing sheets and steel profiles. The industrial evolution of Eucatex has always been associated to the growth of its planted forests, which ensures the continuous supply of an important raw material for the company, eucalyptus wood. The Company chiefly operates in the furniture and civil construction industries, and each segment represents 48% and 35% of its income, respectively.
