Bio Pappel starts plant in Lebanon, Indiana

Mexico City-based recycled-content paper producer Bio Pappel S.A.B. de C.V. has started operations at its new corrugated conversion plant in Lebanon, Indiana, through its subsidiary U.S. Corrugated Co. According to a news release from Bio Pappel, this is the company’s sixth industrial unit in the United States. 

Through a statement issued to the Mexican Stock Exchange, the company says the startup in Lebanon is part of its international expansion plan. Bio Pappel also is planning to construct two industrial plants in the next three years in Tizayuca and Monterrey, Mexico.

Miguel Rincón Arredondo, president of Bio Pappel, states that the North American region—U.S., Mexico and Canada—is the best place for the company to invest and grow as a result of the recent U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal that passed.
