“It’s reassuring to know that ANDRITZ is here to work with us
on this journey.”
Ricardo Cardoso
Industrial Director of Klabin Puma Mill
“With all the efforts we have made to streamline and
increase capacity, along with providing various innovative
technologies following the best environmental practices, we are
already witnessing improvements in the capacity and quality of our
paper and board production. However, it’s a complex plant, and
there is still work to be done to optimize the overall factory balance.
It’s reassuring to know that ANDRITZ is here to work with us on this
journey.”
The Puma mill is the result of one of those extraordinary
projects in this industry in terms of its scale and depth of innovation,
ingenuity, and execution. Whether its civil or equipment engineering
excellence, and sheer physical effort, or intricate new innovations
and environmental additions, Klabin’s Puma mill is now virtually a
closed loop circular biore昀椀nery, and a fantastic example for the pulp
and paper industry and the global bioeconomy as a whole.
Braga concludes, “ANDRITZ has played an important role
in the whole Puma project, both projects I and II, and we see the
compnay as the forerunner in the development and supply of top,
environmentallyleading technology for the pulp and paper industry.”
