Its consolidated presence as a manufacturer of Kraft and recycled paper in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, Its assembly centres located at key points and its numerous plants specialising in packaging and recycling have enabled it to position itself today as one of the sustainable packaging companies that can offer the greatest competitive advantage to agricultural professionals in the respective regions.
