On June 2, 2022, Nippon Paper Industry Co., Ltd. established a new subsidiary in Australia to further strengthen the liquid packaging carton business and facilitate global business expansion.
In recent years, the global market has developed towards the goal of sustainable packaging. Against this backdrop, the demand for paper packaging made from woody biomass feedstocks is likely to grow.
To facilitate the expansion of its global business, Nippon Paper signed a license agreement covering the Oceania region with Elopak ASA, the world's leading supplier of liquid packaging cartons, in March 2022. In addition, Nippon Paper also signed a general agency agreement with Shikoku Chemical, Japan's largest liquid packaging carton filling machine manufacturer in the region's filling machine sales license agreement.
With the establishment of the subsidiary, Nippon Paper successfully established the sales of Elopak Pure-Pak® brand and Nippon Paper NP-PAK brand of paper packaging and filling machine systems produced by Shikoku Kakoki.
Under the slogan of "creating the future with trees", Nippon Paper has been committed to the field of paper packaging, aiming to help people around the world enjoy a high-quality lifestyle and contribute to cultural development. With the philosophy of "letting paper do what it can", Nippon Paper pursues the possibility of paper packaging made of sustainable wood materials, and by doing so contributes to the lives of people in Japan and the world.
