The Brazilian paper industry accounts for 10,357 million metric tons of paper. Pulp and paper mills in Brazil have world records. A plant in Mato Grosso do Sul is known for being the largest single-row factory in the world, uses eucalyptus plantation for raw material, and produces kraft paper.

According to information from IBÁ (Brazilian Tree Industry), pulp production in the country rose by 9.6%, which makes Brazil the 6th place in the ranking of the largest paper producers in the world.

Faced with this continuous expansion, around the year 1900, the Gate Valve - Knife Type -was born, better known as Knife Gate Valve, created especially to block the mass and pulp of paper in the producing plants. In 2000, FKB was born, focusing on the manufacture and development of knife gate valves for paper and cellulose.

Since then, more than 18 types of Knife Gate Valves have been developed. The production and supply of thousands of these equipments, even in common and special materials, sizes of up to 60" and different drives, established us as specialists of the sector.
