What we are
A Colombian paper mill that learned to sell to North America and Europe.
We own and operate an MG paper mill in Cali, Colombia. We built the written standard, the testing and the export paperwork there first, on our own machine. So we know what it costs a mill to hold a specification, and where paper goes wrong.
Converters in North America and Europe need to trust a mill they have never visited. Mills in emerging paper markets, far from those buyers, do not know what a converter there requires. We stand between the two.
For a partner mill we do what a large mill in North America or Europe does for itself: the written standard, certification, quality control, independent testing and the documents a converter asks for. We show the mill's team how each part works and run it with them.
You buy from one company that answers for every roll. Valle Kraft, Inc. is the seller on every order. For shipments into the United States, Valle Kraft USA clears the goods as importer of record. If a roll fails, the claim comes to us.
Today our supply comes from our own mill in Cali, from a recycled kraft mill in Pereira for which we are the contracted export sales agent, and from other qualified partner mills. Identity and authorization letter available to qualified buyers under NDA. We started in Colombia because our mill is there. From that base we are expanding to mills in other regions.

The register
What we qualify today.
Six grades in three families. Each one has a written specification with minimum values on it, and a grade appears here only once a machine has been qualified against that document. The register grows as mills qualify. If you need something adjacent to it, ask, because it may already be in qualification.
Sack kraftThree qualified grades
- Standard Sack Kraft
- Semi-Extensible Sack Kraft
- Extensible Sack Kraft
ContainerboardTwo qualified grades
- Testliner
- Corrugating Medium
The published values are minimums we enforce by refusing to sell below them. They are not typical values. The targets and tolerances your line actually needs sit above the bar, are agreed per grade against your requirement, and are confirmed on the lot test certificate in the shipping documents.
Why it holds together
The specification is the product.
A group of mills selling under one name is worth something only if the paper is the same every time. What makes that true is a laboratory, a written specification, retained samples, and the rejection of any lot that misses, whoever made it.
- One written specification per grade. The same document governs every mill. A mill either meets it or does not ship under it.
- Qualification before first shipment. Sampling, laboratory testing and a trial run before any mill enters the program.
- Mill QC on every lot, and our own verification. The producing mill tests every production lot, and we verify independently at the inspection level its record sets. A lot test certificate comes with the shipping documents.
- Retained samples. Held against every delivery for two years.
- One seller of record. Your contract, your invoice and your claim are all with Valle Kraft.

How it works
From inquiry to unwind stand.
Tell us the end product
Give us the grade name and the job it has to do: what you are converting, what your line does, and the one property your current supplier keeps missing.
We match it to a qualified mill
We know which machine in the program runs your requirement well, because we have tested all of them. If no qualified machine fits, we say so.
Trial container first
Trial orders are expected, priced for the run size, and tested to the same standard as contract tonnage.
Contract allocation
Monthly or quarterly volume held against a plan, with lot certificates and retained samples on every shipment, and one company answering the phone when something needs resolving.
Tell us what you are converting.
We will tell you whether we have the paper for it.
