Navigator will invest € 30 million to upgrade PM3 at the Setúbal site.
By the third quarter of 2026, the machine will have an annual production capacity of 100 thousand tonnes of low-grammage flexible-packaging papers, while retaining the operational flexibility to manufacture printing and writing papers.
One thing surpasses Navigator’s impressive strategy development and management: the furnish.
The kraft paper will be made with eucalyptus fiber under the gKRAFT™ brand: 2.35 to 2.85 cubic metres of wood per tonne of pulp, compared with the 5.0 to 5.5 cubic metres typical of European pine fibre.
Navigator’s gKRAFT™ and Klabin’s Eukaliner® could reshape the global kraftliner market and boost demand for eucalyptus fiber.
