Production and logistics

The management and execution of Production and Logistics appears as one of the material topics that are part of Klabin’s Sustainability roadmap, with internal objectives closely aligned with the Company’s strategic and expansion planning until 2030.

In recent years, when we have been experiencing the impacts of a pandemic, integration becomes a relevant topic in the company’s strategic planning. This is because Klabin’s products are mainly focused on the industries of the segments of essential goods, such as industrialized and fresh foods, health and personal hygiene, among others; sectors whose operating dynamics have been directly impacted. In a period of record-breaking exports and rapid retractions, the Company faced a great challenge to quickly adapt to market fluctuations, optimizing its management in production and logistics to prioritize the supply of the domestic market and national customers, in addition to this being an emergency period, while facing the challenge of respecting its contracts with other customers and following health protocols, taking care of people, partners and vendors, especially the small ones in the production chain.

In terms of integrated planning, the Company promoted, in the first half of 2021, a reorganization and restructuring of the S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) process. In this move, new work routines and tools were established, seeking to increase the speed of response and improve customer service, including the startup of Puma II and the chain vision.

As a complement to the progress of the Puma II Project (starting from MP27 and preparing for MP28), and with a clear objective of reducing impacts on the environment, pollutant emissions, and improving productivity, the company worked on some fronts:
KBT Terminal: We built a multimodal container terminal with road and rail access, a storage capacity of 2,500 containers, and 3 cutting-edge RTGs, with the possibility of moving up to 5,000 containers per month.
PAR01: Supported by the signing of the concession of the Pulp Terminal in the Port of Paranaguá in 2020 (resulting from the bidding in which the Company participated), we are in the final phase of construction of the warehouse in the port of Paranaguá, in an area of more than 27,000 m² with rail access and direct connection to the production units.

All of these initiatives contribute to optimize operating costs, increase value generation for our customers, and Klabin’s Global expansion, streamlining resources and processes of the company and its partners.
