After serving as mayor, Klabin was President of the State Bank of Rio de Janeiro from 1980 to 1983.

He was also a member of the development council of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).[2]
He was appointed as Mayor in 1979 by the then Governor Chagas Freitas.[2] He left the municipal leadership in 1980 because of the friction with the federal government due to his proposal to reexamine the law of the merger between the former state of Guanabara and the former state of Rio de Janeiro.
