Vina Kraft Paper to increase Kraft paper production by 30,000 tpy

When paper demand in many western countries is dropping, Vietnam has to cope with an increasing demand. Paper Age reports that Vina Kraft Paper plans to increase production of kraft and corrugated paper by 30,000 tonnes to 250,000 tonnes per year. The company has recently decided to invest 600 million baht to debottleneck its paper mill in Vietnam.

Some 97% of new production will be for domestic use in Vietnam and the rest for shipment to Japan, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Vina Kraft Paper’s mill is located immediately to the north of Ho Chi Minh City.
