The largest national producer and exporter of packaging paper and paper packaging inaugurated its own terminal in the Port of Paranaguá. On March 22, Klabin began operating the Klabin Port Terminal (PAR-01), located on the commercial pier of the port in Paraná.

With the capacity to receive up to one million tons of pulp and paper per year, the structure is part of the company’s logistics investment package in the state of Paraná. From now on, the unloading of short and long fiber pulp, fluff pulp and paper, which comes from the Puma Unit, located in Ortigueira (PR), and from the Monte Alegre Unit, in Telêmaco Borba (PR), can be carried out within from the Port of Paranaguá.

The terminal covers an area of ​​27,530 m² that was leased by Klabin for 25 years. The new operation brings productivity and competitiveness to Klabin in Break Bulk, a type of maritime cargo transport without the use of containers, which ships large volumes directly inside the ships.

The location of the new terminal has a direct rail connection with the Klabin factory in Ortigueira. “The Port of Paranaguá is one of the most important in Brazil, in addition to being the main route for transporting Klabin’s production in the state,” said Klabin’s Director of Operational Planning, Logistics, Supplies and IT, Roberto Bisogni.
