PAPIRUS was founded in 1952 when the Italian Ramenzoni family, which enjoyed a great tradition in the making of hats (Ramenzoni) and shirts (Bantan), decided to produce the raw material to wrap their products. They acquired a cardboard factory in the countryside of São Paulo that in few years became the family’s core business.
In 1972, they built their current industrial plant in Limeira, 131 km from São Paulo.
Nowadays PAPIRUS relies on 372 collaborators, and about 24 outsources personnel, with a production of 92,000 net tons per year of cardboard that it sells in Brazil and exports to Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, and especially Latin America.

In December 2010, a test application was
performed at the paper producing plant
– a hot and humid indoor facility.
A test area was decided, and two systems were compared: A ZINGA duplex system (ZINGA + epoxy) and a conventional epoxy system (2 layers epoxy).
The application conditions were not ideal: the surface could not be optimally prepared, and hand tools were used (steel brush), obtaining ST3 cleanliness.
