Project Puma II
The puma is the feline most widely distributed across the western hemisphere. Similar to the animal that inspired its name, the Puma II Project is characterized by its sheer grandeur, representing the largest investment ever made by Klabin. The industrial complex located in Ortigueira, Paraná will undergo two phases of expansion by 2023, which include the construction of two innovative paper machines.
The project makes Klabin the world’s first company to produce Eukaliner paper, whose patent it already holds. Along with Eukaliner White, the papers require less energy to make and deliver results up to 20% superior than those of existing products.

SUSTAINABILITY IN ALL PHASES
The Puma II Project is an important milestone in Klabin's expansion cycle and attests to its capacity for sustainable growth allied with technology. Explore a few sustainability highlights of the project, which received huge investments in research, innovation and technology in all phases.
JOB CREATION
In the first phase of construction, over 21K direct and indirect jobs were created. Based on estimates, during the first two years of the Puma II Project, R$198 million was injected into the aggregate earnings of workers in the surrounding municipalities. Besides encouraging partner companies to hire workers from the Campos Gerais region of Paraná state, Klabin also added value to the local labor pool by investing in technical training in the communities of Ortigueira and Telêmaco Borba, which benefitted hundreds of professionals. And another development cycle is just around the corner with the launch of the project’s second phase.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES
For construction of the Puma II Project, Klabin wants to maintain its practice of prioritizing the hiring of local workers like it did for construction of the Puma Unit, which was inaugurated in 2016. At the time, during the construction phase, 85% of the workers hired by the company were from Paraná state.
In addition to encouraging partner companies to hire through the Workers’ Agency, the company also offers local workers various vocational and training programs so that they can access new job opportunities during both construction of the new industrial unit and later in the production and forestry operations.
