Klabin’s new 1.5 million metric tpy Puma pulp mill in Brazil will start up in March 2016. The mill is expected to produce 900,000 metric tpy next year, with two-thirds being BEK (bleached eucalyptus kraft) pulp and one-third being BSK (bleached softwood kraft) pulp, possibly including some fluff depending on tests with fluff buyers.
Klabin CEO, Fábio Fabio Schvartsman, stated on a call with analysts October 27 that the mill is 90% ready and first blow tests into the line have begun at the mill in Ortigueira, Paraná state, southern Brazil.
