Klabin (OTCMKTS:KLBAY) S.A., founded in 1899 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, is the country’s largest producer and exporter of paper for packaging. The company began as a family enterprise established by the Klabin and Lafer families and has grown into an integrated forestry and paper complex operating across multiple states in southern Brazil.
Klabin’s core business spans forestry management, pulp production, paper manufacturing and corrugated packaging solutions. The forestry segment comprises sustainable eucalyptus and pine plantations that supply raw material for the company’s kraft pulp mills.

The company also converts paper into corrugated board, industrial bags and other flexible packaging items.
Serving both domestic and international markets, Klabin exports pulp and paper to Europe, North America, Asia and Latin America. Its packaging products are used by major consumer goods companies in sectors such as food and beverage, e-commerce, electronics and industrial goods. The company continues to expand capacity through integrated projects, such as the Puma II pulp mill complex, designed to increase efficiency and reduce environmental footprint.
Governed by a board of directors that includes members of the founding family and independent executives, Klabin is led by a professional management team focused on operational excellence and sustainability. The company holds certifications from leading environmental organizations and invests in biomass energy, water conservation and reforestation programs. Through these initiatives, Klabin aims to balance growth with responsible stewardship of natural resources.
