§Winston Score History

The full picture

Klabin is Brazil's largest producer and exporter of packaging paper and cardboard. It makes corrugated boxes, kraft paper, containerboard, and coated paperboard used mainly by food, beverage, and consumer goods companies. The company also produces market pulp from its own planted eucalyptus and pine forests across southern Brazil.

Klabin earns revenue by selling packaging products and pulp to customers in Brazil and export markets worldwide. Its vertically integrated model — owning forests, pulp mills, and paper machines — gives it cost advantages and a reliable fiber supply. With a market cap around $23.5 billion, it is one of Latin America's largest forest-products companies. Key growth depends on rising demand for sustainable paper-based packaging as a replacement for plastics, though the business faces risks from pulp price swings, currency fluctuations, and the capital-intensive nature of mill expansions.
