Brazil's largest packaging paper and cellulose producer, operating 22+ industrial mills
Klabin is Brazil's dominant packaging-paper and cellulose manufacturer, running 22 industrial units domestically plus one in Argentina with 4.5M annual tons of capacity. The tech stack is SAP-centric (PM, MM, FI/CO, S/4HANA, Fiori) paired with operational systems (ServiceNow, PLC, Profibus, Profinet) — a mature, compliance-heavy enterprise infrastructure. Hiring velocity is accelerating across operations, manufacturing, and engineering roles (106 positions posted in the last 30 days), with pain points centered on process efficiency, cost control, and regulatory compliance, suggesting a digitization and automation play across the mill footprint.

Klabin manufactures and exports corrugated packaging, industrial bags, paperboard, and cellulose (short-fiber, long-fiber, and fluff grades) to domestic and international markets. Founded in 1899 and now publicly listed, the company operates at industrial scale with 10,000+ employees across Brazil and Argentina. Operations are governed by sustainability commitments — Klabin has been part of Brazil's ISE Index since 2014 and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index since 2020. Core capabilities span forestry, pulping, papermaking, and converting; the company positions itself as the only domestic producer offering all three cellulose fiber grades.
