From inquiry to delivery in five steps

We don't make paper: we source the right product for every order from one of our reliable partner mills and manage everything in between. You deal with one commercial contact who follows your order personally from the first quote to the last container, while our logistics team keeps you informed at every step: production, booking, loading, sailing and arrival, before you have to ask.

  1. Your specification

    Grade, grammage, format, volume and destination port.

  2. Mill selection

    We match your order with the right mill among our partner mills, qualified for quality, reliability and lead time.

  3. Firm offer

    Price on CFR or CIF terms, usually within 24 hours.

  4. Production and shipping

    We follow production, booking and loading, with regular updates.

  5. Documents and arrival

    COA, bill of lading and certificates ready before the vessel arrives.

Case studies

PeruFolding boxboard

A paper and board distributor depended on a single mill to supply its printers. Today it receives a continuous programme of folding boxboard from several Asian origins, across the full caliper range, with prices fixed before production and one container after another arriving at Callao without stock-outs.

PeruNewsprint

A press group needed to secure supply for its rotary without being tied to one mill or to the price swings of one origin. We combine reels from North America and Europe in 42 to 48.8 g, on a monthly programme with staggered shipments, and its plant now receives paper with the regularity of a local supply.

MexicoFolding boxboard

A packaging printer needed a second source of boxboard matching the quality of its usual supplier without raising cost. We qualified mill and sample, and every shipment since has arrived with the same specification, CFR Mexican port, documents ready before the vessel berths.

ChileCopy paper

A packaging and stationery manufacturer wanted to buy direct from origin without local intermediaries. We opened the account, quoted, confirmed production and shipped 75 g copy paper within weeks, with complete documentation for Chilean customs from the first container.

EcuadorTissue

A hygiene-products converter suffered variations in grammage and diameter between lots that stopped its line. We secured toilet and napkin parent rolls of 15 to 21 g with a stable specification shipment after shipment, and it now buys on a recurring basis.

PeruKraft

A bag and packaging converter needed kraft with stable stretch and porosity between shipments, so it would not have to readjust its machine with every lot. We qualified a North American mill with a prior sample, and it has since received reels at the exact width of its line with the same specification order after order.

Paper people, not just traders.

We come from inside the paper industry: mills, distribution and logistics. That is why we quote in your terms, know what each grade can and cannot do, and follow every container as if it were our own. We prefer long-term relationships over one-off deals, with our customers and with our mills.

  • Financing for established accounts

    Open-account terms and credit facilities once the relationship is in place, so your working capital is not tied up in transit.

  • Proactive follow-up on every order

    We track production, booking, loading and sailing, anticipate issues before they reach you, and keep you informed at every step.

  • No minimum order

    From one container. Mixed loads of several grades on request.

  • Certified grades

    FSC® and PEFC™ certified paper available from our mill partners.
