In recent years, the transition toward sustainable packaging solutions is expected to take place in the Oceania market, as in other regions. Against this background, demand for paper packages made mainly from woody biomass raw materials is likely to grow in the region.
To facilitate expansion into the Oceania market, Nippon Paper signed a license agreement covering the Oceania region with Elopak ASA, a leading global supplier of liquid packaging cartons.
In addition, Nippon Paper entered into a general agency agreement separately with Shikoku Kakoki, the largest liquid packaging carton filling machine producer in Japan, with respect to sales of filling machines in the region. With the opening of the new local subsidiary, Nippon Paper succeeded in establishing a system to sell paper packages with Elopak’s Pure-Pak
brand and Nippon Paper’s NP-PAK brand, as well as filling machines produced by Shikoku Kakoki.
