MHI challenges Latin American corrugators to match mature market productivity at LatamCORR Brasil
Giovanni Bettini will detail how Latin American plants can maximize their installed assets using MHI's global operational strategies this November in Campinas.
Latin American corrugated packaging plants frequently face a production ceiling dictated by their existing infrastructure. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) EMEA Corrugating Machinery Division is stepping into LatamCORR Brasil 2026, scheduled for November 12 at the Royal Palm Hall in Campinas, with a clear thesis: the region's facilities can extract significantly more volume from their current footprint.
Giovanni Bettini, Head of Sales at MHI EMEA Corrugating & Printing Machinery Division, will lead the presentation. Instead of a standard equipment showcase, the focus shifts to operational translation. The core question driving the session is direct: what can a facility in São Paulo or Bogotá learn from the high-speed, high-uptime operations MHI has engineered in mature markets across Europe and North America?
Translating global efficiency to local operations
The strategy relies on combining globally tested technology with deep industrial experience and localized customer support. Bettini's approach targets operational efficiency and the maximization of installed assets. It is about pushing the corrugator to its mechanical limits while maintaining board quality, reducing downtime, and optimizing critical components like the single facer and the corrugating section.
MORE OUTPUT. SAME PLANT.
In 2026, the Latin American packaging market demands higher volumes and faster turnaround times, but capital expenditure for entirely new lines is not always the immediate answer. MHI's proposition addresses this gap by focusing on process optimization, advanced retrofits, and leveraging operational data from mature markets to solve local bottlenecks. By applying these global standards, plants can achieve higher plant productivity without necessarily expanding their physical footprint.
The true value of global suppliers lies not just in the heavy machinery they install, but in the operational blueprints they share across borders. Can Latin American converters bridge the productivity gap without massive infrastructure expansions?
