Our technical knowledge, the ability to adapt our
con昀椀gurations and a team of people who face challenges and
contribute initiatives that improve our processes are key factors.
Beyond technical excellence, Pasaban’s success lies in the
unwavering commitment of people throughout the organization
throughout its history, a commitment that has not only gotten us
to where we are today, but has also contributed to strengthen our
position in the global market.
We foster a work environment that stimulates personal and
professional growth, where our team faces challenges, constantly
seeks to learn and contributes initiatives that improve our processes.
Ancillary processes, addressing aspects such as
management, training and talent attraction among others, are
essential and complex, supporting the structure that allows all other
activities to be carried out successfully. For this reason, at Pasaban
we recognize the importance of taking care of our team, creating an
environment conducive to development and collective success.
Digital transformation
Another aspect on which the company has focused in recent
years has been the digital transition from a sustainable vision,
as García explains: “We are immersed in various digitalization
processes, among which the modernization of the management
systems and orientation towards a complete digital transformation.
However, we are aware that what we have been historically
cannot be maintained if we do not improve competitiveness and
ef昀椀ciency. Thus, Pasaban takes a proactive stance in addressing the
transformation towards a sustainable and decarbonized world and,
in this context, we feel comfortable contributing signi昀椀cantly to these
objectives.”
Sustainability
Talking about the Pulp & Paper industry without showing
certain sensitivities regarding the environment would be incoherent
and not aligned with our way of thinking and feeling and far from our
values as an organization.
We participate in an industry and live in an environment
that is very sensitive to the environment. At Pasaban, in addition
to meeting very high standards regarding environmental aspects,
in recent years we have developed different actions, both in
infrastructure and social in nature, with the aim of contributing
even more to creating a more sustainable world. There is a speci昀椀c
committee in charge of all these matters, studying, carry on actions
and reviewing the results of these actions.
One of the established practices is that our suppliers are
located a few kilometers from our main location in order to have a
better response to our demands and guarantee quality, established
deadlines and at the same time promote a reduced carbon footprint
where distances to deliver parts of the equipment or components
are limited. It is always dif昀椀cult to obtain a perfect combination,
but paying attention not only to technical parameters but also to
environmental parameters and trying to achieve a certain balance is
something we do naturally because we understand that it will bring
positive results in many aspects.
Respect for our clients, our partners, our suppliers, our
environment and 昀椀nally towards our Pulp and Paper Industry
is always absolute and has always formed our character as an
organization. Being respectful and promoting appropriate practices
towards all of the above has led us to where we are today as a
reference manufacturer in the sector.
Of course, our partners and suppliers are highly important in
our business model, and the reason is as simple as recognizing that
without them we might not be where we are today. Our keys to our
suppliers are to promote long-term agreements with them and work
together with them to improve processes and quality, which has a
direct impact on our own business model and our very high-quality
demands and always observing that the chosen group also has a
real commitment to the environment.
Future objectives
Our future objectives in a broad way, so is indicated by
Muriel, would be to provide a greater number of solutions to our
clients, reach other segments with greater penetration, learn with
intensity/devotion from our clients and their concerns and demands,
take advantage of new trends (e.g. substitution of plastic in some
of the handling processes) reacting in a fast and 昀氀exible way with
solutions that add value to our clients and that our footprint as an
organization continues to be as 昀椀rm and as reputable as until today
(just 4 years away to reach one century of history in the Pulp &
Paper industry).
