(UPPC) President and Chief Executive Officer Danaidej Ketsuwan (second from right) for its Php 8.5 billion pioneering paper machine line project on April 11, 2019.
The firm will produce up to 220,000 tons per year of corrugated medium paper in its plant in Calumpit, Bulacan with commercial operations to begin in November 2020. It will serve both domestic and export markets and boost the local paper industry by reducing the need for customers to rely on imported paper. It will also be employing several state-of-the-art technologies in its facility.
Additionally, the facility’s new power boiler is designed to tap a non-conventional source of energy such as biogas by using an anaerobic system with less power requirement and less sludge. Overall, these new technologies are expected to yield better productivity and better cost efficiency and at the same time increase its value/production.
