Smurfit Kappa, one of the world’s leading paper-based packaging firms, continues its investment in sustainable technology in Mexico, demonstrating its long-term commitment to the country.

An advanced new paper machine (PM6) began operating at the Los Reyes Paper Mill site in the State of Mexico in January. This new endeavour is one of Smurfit Kappa’s largest investments in the country in recent years and an important milestone for the company in the Americas.

The new high performance PM6, which produces recycled containerboard, strengthens Smurfit Kappa’s offering for the agricultural and electrical appliance sectors.

Operating in Mexico for more than 40 years, Smurfit Kappa has also recently invested in a modernisation project for converting plants which, along with the new PM6, significantly increases customer capabilities.

The Los Reyes Paper Mill is one of the company's three containerboard mills in Mexico, where it also operates 15 converting plants.
