Oji Paper aims at corrugated paper market for fruit packaging in China

Recently, due to the excessive supply and demand of domestic corrugated paper, Japanese papermaking companies headed by Oji Paper began targeting the corrugated paper market for fruit packaging in Shandong, and decided to manufacture and sell corrugated paper in China. According to the study of the Japanese paper industry, the demand for corrugated packaging materials from food processing companies in China is increasing, and Shandong is a place of fruitful production for apples and pears. Not only is it sold in large quantities in China, but also exported to Southeast Asia and Europe, and the corrugated packaging materials are in short supply. How much is needed to some degree. The annual demand for corrugated paper in China is about 13 to 15 billion square meters, and this demand will increase by 10% each year in the future.

As the international paper chemicals market has matured, multinational companies are now planning to place hope for future growth in China's dynamic market. It is understood that many multinational companies have set up offices in China or set up wholly-owned or joint ventures.

In May 1995, Japan's Arakawa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and Guangxi Quzhou Pine Factory registered and established China's first joint venture in the field of papermaking chemicals, Guangxi Quzhou Arakawa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., which uses technology from Japan's Arakawa River to manufacture paper-making rosin. Series sizing agent.

After that, the world’s largest paper chemicals multinational company, Hekley Soil Company and Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co., Ltd. jointly established Shanghai Hekeli Soil Chemical Co., Ltd., which mainly produces new advanced paper sizing agents, including AKD and cations. Disperses rosin gum and highly-strengthened rosin gum, becoming the largest paper sizing agent manufacturer in China.

Japan's largest paper sizing agent research and production company, Japan Harima Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Chemical Research Institute jointly established Hangzhou Hanghua Harima Paper Chemicals Co., Ltd., specializing in the development and production of rosin-based paper sizing agents. .

In addition, Dow Chemical Company, National Starch Chemical Co., Ltd., French SNF, Swiss Clariant, and Ciba Specialty Chemicals established joint ventures or establishment offices for papermaking chemicals with related units in Pudong, Beijing, and Guangzhou respectively. , to enter its products into the Chinese market.

Industry analysts believe that the entry of foreign advanced technologies and products has filled the gaps in China's papermaking chemicals in certain high-grade varieties. On the other hand, it has also prompted domestic papermaking chemical companies to actively conduct research and development and promote and drive domestic papermaking chemistry. The rapid development of the goods industry.
