Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.
The initiative not only ensures the operational continuity of the Monte Alegre Unit but also promises to significantly improve its efficiency and competitiveness in the market.
The total investment of R$ 1.7 billion, to be disbursed between 2024 and 2027, includes about R$ 180 million in recoverable taxes and will be financed with the company’s available resources, without compromising its financial leverage.
This project is aligned with the investment projections announced by Klabin at the end of 2023, demonstrating a continued commitment to sustainable growth.
Company Estimates to Create 1,800 Jobs During Peak Construction of Modernization
In addition to the economic and environmental benefits, the modernization of the factory promises to have significant positive impacts on job creation.
During the peak of construction, it is estimated that up to 1,800 new jobs will be created, providing an important employment opportunity for the local community.
The new boiler is expected to start operations in the fourth quarter of 2026, marking an important milestone in Klabin’s trajectory of innovation and development in Telemaco Borba.
