Orient Paper Finalizes Corrugating Medium Expansion Plans

Orient Paper, Inc., Baoding, China, a producer of diversified paper products in North China, reports that it has begun finalizing the renovation plan for its existing 150,000 metric tpy corrugating medium production line. The width of the machine will be expanded from 3.2 meters to 5.6 meters, and production capacity will be expanded to 250,000 metric tpy.

In preparation for the construction, Orient Paper said that it will demolish certain facilities. It expects to sign the paper machine construction contract with an equipment supplier when the layout design is finalized later this month.

Founded in 1996, Orient Paper uses recycled paper as its primary raw material in the production of three types of paper products, packaging papers (corrugating medium), offset printing papers, and other paper products, including digital photo paper, and household/tissue paper that the company is currently expanding into. With production operations based in Baoding in North China's Hebei Province, the company is located strategically close to the Beijing and Tianjin region, home to a growing base of industrial and manufacturing activities and one of the largest markets for paper products consumption in the country.

Orient Paper's production facilities are controlled and operated by its wholly owned subsidiary Shengde Holdings, Inc., which in turn controls and operates Baoding Shengde Paper Co., and Hebei Baoding Orient Paper Milling Co., for manufacturing digital photo, printing, and packaging paper.
