LUIS ALBERTO RESENDIZ

He started in the paper world through his father's businesses, first with the collection of secondary fiber, and then participating with him in the installation of a paper machine for flat papers.
In 2000, when he was 20 years old, Luis Alberto, together with his father, founded "CONVERTIPAP". A 100% Mexican family business dedicated to the manufacturing and conversion of tissue paper. Luis Alberto has taken over the direction of his company since 2020. During his international trade studies, he created a brand that he later used to identify his products.
With Luis Alberto's hard work and dedicated direction, CONVERTIPAP has grown at a great speed and today has two plants, 6 paper machines and 30 conversion lines for napkins and another 15 lines for consumer and AFH (Away From Home) products.
The growth and modernization of CONVERTIPAP's plants has continued tirelessly, increasingly utilizing modern machinery, the renovation of its largest machine, automation of its conversion lines, and dedicating more resources to employee training.

With all these actions, product of full-time dedication, Luis Alberto Resendiz contributes significantly to the progress and sustainability of the paper industry and the progress of his country and all of Latin America.

MARGARITO SALVADOR

Born in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. He has a long career in the Pulp and Paper Industry, starting in 1986.

He has gone through all levels of maintenance activities, from when he started at Mexicana de Papel Periodico as a Supervisor Trainee to his current position as Maintenance Manager at the Biopappel Veracruz Plant in Tres Valles.

Within his activities, he has covered practically all sequences of pulp and paper manufacturing: Mechanical Maintenance for plant services, Pulp Manufacturing, Stock Preparation, Paper Machine, and Packaging.

We know that Margarito has always carried out his work with a pursuit of excellence and sustainability.

His continuous dedicated and meticulous work led him to grow within the organization until he now has total management of maintenance for Biopappel Scribe.

It is a quiet but indispensable task for which we honor Margarito Salvador Ramos with the Latampaper Achievement Award.
