Pakka Partners with Haber to Deploy AI at Pulp Mill

Pakka has partnered with Haber to deploy agentic artificial intelligence at its pulp mill, aiming to enhance operational efficiency, optimize resource use, and improve process predictability.

The collaboration will begin with key process stages and expand across the facility over time. Haber’s Mt. Fuji platform will serve as both the plant’s data historian and AI agent layer, integrating real-time operational data with analytics. The system is designed to reduce process variability, improve predictability of critical quality KPIs, and optimize the use of chemicals, energy, and water.

Mt. Fuji will also unify and contextualize data from multiple sources, enabling plant teams to analyze historical trends, investigate deviations, and perform root cause analysis. This foundation is expected to support AI-driven decision-making and closed-loop optimization across operations.

The initiative aligns with Pakka’s sustainability-focused manufacturing strategy, where technology plays a central role in improving performance while ensuring responsible use of resources. As the company expands capacity, it is investing in digital systems to improve visibility and decision-making across its processes.

Ved Krishna, Group Lead at Pakka Limited, said the partnership would help improve daily decision-making and operational efficiency while supporting long-term scalability. “This partnership helps our teams make better decisions every day, improving efficiency now and enabling meaningful scale tomorrow,” he said.

Vipin Raghavan, CEO of Haber, said AI can play a key role in optimizing pulp mill operations while balancing performance and sustainability. He added that the company looks forward to deploying its AI agents at Pakka’s facility.

Pakka has been developing compostable and regenerative packaging solutions for over four decades, and the collaboration reflects its continued focus on scaling sustainable manufacturing practices.
