Oji to close manufacturing plant of the Nayoro mill

Oji announced it has decided to close the manufacturing facilities of the Nayoro Mill of Oji Materia Co., Ltd. and relocate them to the Tomakomai Mill of Oji Paper Co., Ltd.

Oji Holdings Corporation has worked on restructuring its Group manufacturing system, in response to the structural changes in its domestic demand. On May 22, a news release on remodeling #5 Machine of the Tomakomai Mill of Oji Paper Co., Ltd. to a containerboard & kraft paper machine was issued in response to the structural changes recently demanded for paper.

 These measures will result in capacity reduction of containerboard paper (corrugating medium) of approximately 163,000 t/year.
