Inside corrugated paperboard manufacturing plant
One of Ecuador ’ s leading companies is Grupo Surpapel , based in the paper recycling and manufacturing services business , including packaging , fiber collection , laminates and cardboard box production , as well as wastepaper collection for recycling , and paper and paperboard export / import operations .
Surpapel opened in 2001 in the paper commercialization trade . The company partnered with Grupo Palmar in 2006 to buy an important share of incARPAlm , Ecuador ’ s most innovative paperboard manufacturer . This joint venture produced equal growth in technological improvements and competitiveness , raising the standards domestically for the paper and cardboard industry .
Once positioned as industry leaders , in 2009 Surpapel continued its expansion by acquiring ProcArsA from the Dole Food Company ; the former had built a reputation for being a reliable source of corrugated fiberboard nationwide . Also , the installation of two new units for high quality paperboard printing placed them atop South America ’ s packaging sector .
SURPAPelcorP came about as a secondary fiber paper mill with world-class technology , after partnering with a group whose specialty was paper manufacturing in Latin America . The joint venture began operations on October 18 , 2010 .
