Rengo Co., Ltd. has announced that Vina Kraft Paper Co., Ltd., its joint venture in Vietnam will construct a new containerboard mill. With the proposed production plant, Vina Kraft Paper will cement its position as a market leader in the Vietnam containerboard market in addition to boosting Vietnam’s domestic integrated production system of containerboards to corrugated boxes.
Moving ahead, Rengo Group is intending to undertake a major global business expansion drive and will further enhance its presence in Vietnam. While the demand for containerboards in Vietnam is expected to increase with expanding domestic consumption, the demand from abroad, especially China, is also going to drive the further growth prospects of containerboards in the Southeast Asian country.
