MG kraftOne qualified grade
- MG Unbleached Kraft
Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Colombian paper, held to one specification.
Six grades, each held to a written specification with minimum values on it. We qualify the machines that meet it, across the Valle del Cauca and including our own near Cali. Whichever machine ran it, the roll ships under our name with our test data behind it, and one company holds the contract and answers for it.

What we are
A paper broker that also owns a paper machine.
We own and operate a mill near Cali, so we know what good paper looks like and we know the specific ways it goes wrong. A single small mill can sell you only what its one machine makes, in whatever quantity it makes it. A trader who has never run a paper machine cannot tell you why a sheet behaves the way it does, and tends to go quiet when the claim arrives.
We write the specification for a grade first, then qualify machines against it, ours included. Running a machine ourselves is what makes us competent to judge anyone else's, but it does not earn our own paper an easier pass. You get the range and the capacity of a group, from one company that is technically accountable for every roll.

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.

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 certificate that travels with the paper.
Recovered fiber, collected in Colombia and consumed in Colombia.
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 willingness to refuse your neighbor's tonnage when it misses.
- 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.
- Lot testing, every lot. A certificate issued against the paper you actually receive, plus our own independent testing at a frequency set by the mill's record.
- Retained samples. Held against every lot, so a quality conversation rests on evidence rather than memory.
- One seller of record. Your contract, your invoice and your claim are all with Valle Kraft. There is nobody behind us for you to chase.

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. That lets us aim at the right sheet instead of the nearest one.
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 nothing in the portfolio fits, we say so rather than sending the closest thing and hoping.
Trial container first
Nobody should commit annual volume to paper they have not run on their own equipment. 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 honestly whether we have the paper for it.
