Fastmarkets Forest Products, the world’s leading provider of pricing data and analytics for the pulp, paper, and packaging industries, is proud to announce that Cristiano Teixeira, CEO of Klabin, has been named the 2024 Latin American CEO of the Year.
Teixeira was selected by financial analysts who cover the Latin American pulp and paper industry that recognized his exceptional leadership and the remarkable achievements of Klabin in the past year, including the start up of the Puma II expansion project that added a new flexible kraftliner and boxboard paper machine in 2023, as well as the construction of the Figueira corrugated board plant, which commenced operations in April 2024.
Under Teixeira’s guidance since 2017, Klabin has experienced significant growth, solidified its position as a sustainability leader, and consistently impressed the industry with the introduction of new products, including a kraftliner made of 100% eucalyptus fiber, known as Eukaliner®.
In 2023, Teixeira was also recognized by market participants at the Fastmarkets’ PPI Awards ceremony, when he was chosen the International CEO of the Year – a global recognition for his achievements in the industry.
Teixeira will receive the Latin America CEO of the Year Award at the Fastmarkets Forest Products conference 2024 that will take place in São Paulo between August 12-14.
