OUR STORY

THREE GENERATIONS OF CARDBOARD EXCELLENCE

1952

Our journey in the cardboard industry is more than just a business story — it’s a family tradition passed down proudly through three generations. For over 75 years, our family has dedicated its passion, knowledge, and hard work to crafting high-quality solutions in an essential sector that serves both industry and sustainability.

1997

It all began with Lope Carral, whose vision and determination laid the foundation for a company committed to innovation and sustainability. Cartonajes Karlia became a benchmark in the corrugated cardboard sector. Later, Lope Carral Sampedro carried the torch forward, not only strengthening our market position but reinforcing the values that define us: dedication, quality, and deep respect for our clients and partners. After years of success in the corrugated sector, he ventured into uncharted territory: compact cardboard. There, he quickly positioned Norgraft Packaging as a national leader, earning recognition as one of the most recognized companies within the industry over the past few years.

2024

Today, as the third generation at the helm, we carry forward the pioneering spirit that’s been at our core since day one. We’ve adapted to the evolving demands of the industry by embracing innovative technology, sustainable practices, and personalized solutions that respond to our clients’ changing needs.

Our extensive experience, combined with a modern perspective, allows us to lead with excellence while staying true to the family values that shaped our journey. We’re not just a company – we’re a family dedicated to quality, sustainability, and innovation, working relentlessly to deliver products that create real value.

We’re grateful to our clients, suppliers, and team for being part of this story. Together, we’re building a legacy that honors our past while paving the way for a bright future in the paperboard industry.
