In dynamic markets, trust is built through sustained results and long-term strategic decisions. The authorization granted by the Superintendence of Securities of Costa Rica (SUGEVAL) to Latin American Kraft Investments Inc. (LAKI) for the registration and public offering of its Corporate Bond Program marks an important step for the region. It provides investors with a solid financing instrument and opens the door to a model directly connected to real industrial operations.

The Bank of Costa Rica (BCR), acting as structuring agent, contributes experience and institutional backing. Its participation enables capital to flow toward companies that operate with stability, proven capabilities, and long-term vision. For SigmaQ–LAKI, this authorization, beyond being a financial milestone, reflects the natural evolution of an operating model that sees capital as productive energy that strengthens packaging solutions, reinforces supply chains, and creates room for responsible innovation.

The issuance is aligned with four pillars that guide the corporate strategy:

• Innovation, through investment in technical capabilities and processes that enable higher-performance packaging with a lower environmental footprint.
• Excellence, through operational integration that ensures consistency across plants and markets.
• Responsibility, focused on strengthening employment, local development, and sustainable initiatives.
• Trust, grounded in regulatory compliance and transparency.

As summarized by Mario Marroquin, Corporate Vice President of Finance:
“Our vision is simple. It is about investing with discipline to enhance performance and sustainability. This bond program allows us to maintain that direction and support each project with evidence and regional growth.”

The bell-ringing ceremony at the BCR offices marks the formal beginning of this new stage. Beyond its symbolic character, it reflects the convergence of financial institutions, strong regulation, and productive industry.

The LAKI issuance reaffirms that the capital markets can support regional development when responsibility, vision, and purpose are prioritized. Positive influence is not declared. It is built through decisions that generate trust, step by step.
