We are sad to report the passing of Roberto Silva, former president of Smurfit Kappa Cartón de Colombia, who was being held in a clinic in the capital of the republic, a victim of COVID-19.
Silva held the presidency of the company based in Valle del Cauca for several years until October 2008, when he was appointed president of Smurfit Kappa Latin America. In 2012 he retired and moved to the department of Santander where he was originally from.
“His death leaves us with deep sadness and a great emptiness,” said Álvaro José Henao, current president of Smurfit Kappa Latin America, who described him as an intelligent man with great business knowledge, who developed a brilliant career and leaves a great legacy difficult to match.
