Spanish term

Transversales

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology
Hi all! I am translating this section below and would like to know if I have captured the meaning of "transversales" correctly. Spanish to English. I have included the original context in Spanish and my attempt at a translation in English.

Capacitaremos a un grupo seleccionado de Superintendentes, Jefes e Ingenieros del área SSO de las plantas de Celulosa, Maderas y transversales. Ellos serán los primeros usuarios responsables de traspasar el conocimiento en sus ámbitos de acción, transformándose en agentes de cambio de este proyecto.

We will train a select group of SSO supervisors, managers and engineers from pulp and wood plants and other cross areas. They will be the first users and responsible for passing along knowledge in their areas, becoming change agents for this project.

I don't have an answer for the translation, rather a possible different meaning of "transversales" that you might look into that might help with the translation. It doesn't sound to me like they are using the word "transversales" as something that cuts accross different areas, which is how I usually see this term used. I think they might be using it with reference to the type of wood product the group is working with. Mira esto: "La madera es una matriz tridimensional, hidroscópica y porosa de celulosa, ... En el grano final o en una sección transversal del tronco bajo el microscopio..." Y esto: "Un corte transversal del tronco nos permite apreciar la estructura interior.." Y: "... electrónicas escaneadas de secciones transversales de madera sana..." ¡Suerte!

agree neilmac : I thought they meant cross beams at first, but this seems more likely.
