Putting the environment first
Pan Asia Paper (Thailand) Co., Ltd. was initially established
in 1991 under the name of Shin Ho Paper (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
However, after Norske Skogindustrier ASA acquired major shares
in the company in 1998, the company’s name was changed to Norske
Skog (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Soon afterwards,
a joint venture between Norske Skogindustrier ASA (from Norway)
and Abitibi Consolidated (from Canada) was formed, called Pan
Asia Paper Co. Pte Ltd. Pan Asia Paper’s headquarters are in
Singapore. Its operations include four mills in three Asian
countries, South Korea, China and Thailand. While, the 5th mill
is under construction in the northern part of China.
Presently employing 326 staff, Pan Asia Paper (Thailand)
Co., Ltd. was founded to manufacture newsprint for both domestic
and international markets. The company’s products have won
the confidence of such leading newspapers in Thailand as the
Bangkok Post, Thai Rath, Daily News, Kom Chad Luek, Matichon,
Khao Sod, Krungthep Turakij, The Nation, Siam Sport Daily
and Star Soccer.
