Klabin to Install New Kraft Paper Machine at Correia Pinto Mill in Brazil

Klabin, Brazil, plans to purchase a new paper machine for sack kraft paper production at its Correia Pinto mill that will have a production capacity of 80,000 metric tpy. The new capacity, aimed at the growing industrial bags market, is scheduled to come online in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The new machine, manufactured in Brazil, will consume the surplus of pulp at Correia Pinto, as well as paper trims generated by mills in Santa Catarina State. Capital expenditures will total approximately BRL 220 million (about EUR 88 million). As a result, Klabin will attain a production capacity of 213,000 metric tpy of sack kraft paper in 2014.
