Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) Statement on PT OKI Pulp & Paper Mills (OKI)
Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) acquired PT OKI Pulp & Paper Mills (OKI) in 2013 as part of our expansion plan to increase our production capacity responsibly, which is essential for us to continue meeting growing market demands and further strengthen Indonesia's contribution to global trade.
The initial production license for the OKI mill, which was issued by the Capital Investment Coordination Agency (BKPM) and accompanied by an approved Environment Impact Analysis license, was granted for the production of 2 million tons of pulp annually.
The mill will commence production this year at low level and will gradually increase subject to demand and the availability of raw materials. Pulp production and any future increase in production will be subject to the availability of raw materials from our suppliers. The design capacity of the mill is 2.8 million tons per year.
