This initiative aims to serve as a platform for business leaders from the region to share their experiences, thereby encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship.

Celtejo sets an eco-friendly example

20 Feb 2018 Over the last few months, Celtejo’s name has been brought up in the social media and on other platforms, as the body most responsible for polluting the Tagus River. The company was left with no choice but to take legal action to set the record straight and to put an end to the efamatory comments which bear no resemblance to the truth.

Reinventing a hundred-year-old company

20 Feb 2018 Converting a paper grade pulp mill to meet the needs of a market as demanding as the dissolving pulp market was no easy task. It required great commitment from everyone who works at Caima to demonstrate the feasibility of creating products of higher added value, with the required degree of quality, and to face the challenges raised by a new and unfamiliar market.

Doors flung open to the community

Representing the values and importance of Portugal’s paper industry

20 Feb 2018 In 2016, CELPA’s members had a turnover of 2,538,000 Euros. This cluster created 90 thousand direct, indirect and induced jobs. These numbers are testament to the sector’s strategic importance to the Portuguese economy and to the country as a whole.

Profitability together with environmental concerns

20 Feb 2018 Carlos Amaral Vieira, general director of CELPA, explains that the paper industry is founded on circular economic business model (reduction, reuse, recovery and recycling of materials and energy).

Differences between production of paper grade pulp and dissolving pulp

20 Feb 2018 The majority of paper pulp factories use the kraft or sulphate pulp process. It is an alkaline process. There are few industrial units which use the magnesium bisulphite process to produce pulp, although there are some mills in Europe which use this method. In Portugal only Caima uses this process.

Minimising risky behaviour in the factory

20 Feb 2018 Last year was Celbi’s best ever in terms of safety. A strict attitude towards safety meant that employees avoided injuring themselves. To get to this point, an internal project had to be implemented to bring about changes to risky behaviours.

Aiming for zero accidents

20 Feb 2018 The Safe Behaviour Project came at the right time at Celbi. In the last few years, the number of accidents had stabilised at a threshold that, although not bad, was not what the company wanted.

Back to college

20 Feb 2018 Expanding your knowledge is important at any time of life. For many, taking up studies again as an adult entails much sacrifice and overcoming difficulties. It’s a necessary effort geared towards achieving intellectual growth, working and making a better life.
