Segment Overview



In FY2022, we had net sales of 281.0 billion yen (up 36.5 billion yen from FY2021) and operating loss of 4.8 billion yen (down 22.6 billion yen from FY2 0 2 1). In the domestic business, although demand for newsprint continued to decline, net sales of newsprint were on a par with the previous year due to price revisions. Net sales of printing paper increased from the previous year due to rising demand for domestic products caused by decrease in imported paper, as well as price revisions. In the overseas business, net sales increased from the previous year at Jiangsu Oji Paper Co., Ltd. In FY2023, net sales of 305.0 billion yen (up 24.0 billion yen from FY2022) and operating profit of 21.0 billion yen (up 25.8 billion yen from FY2022) are planned.

Business Overview


Newsprint Business

Tomakomai Mill, one of the world’s leading newsprint mills, produces high quality newsprint with features requested by customers, such as lighter weight and improved print reproducibility, making full use of a wide variety of pulp. We hold approximately 30% share of the Japanese market with a stable supply to customers throughout the country including the Greater Tokyo area.

Challenges for the Achievement of the Medium-term Management Plan and Priority Measures for 2023

We are working to improve profitability and competitiveness, by deepening cooperation with other segments in the Oji Group, anticipating future demand trends, and maximizing effective use of pulp manufacturing facilities, biomass boilers, and other assets. In October 2021, we converted a newsprint machine to a machine for manufacturing containerboard at Tomakomai Mill. In April 2022, we started operation of a special liner and special paperboard machine relocated from Nayoro Mill of Oji Materia at the same mill. Overseas, utilizing existing pulp manufacturing facilities and biomass boilers, etc., we built a new household base paper machine at Jiangsu Oji Paper (China). (Started operation in 2020)


 

Initiatives for Environmental Issues

Electric power is indispensable for paper manufacturing. The Oji Group owns various types of power plants in Japan and works to secure power sources for its mills while engaging in the electricity sale business. Among all, our Chitose No. 1 Hydroelectric Power Plant, built in 1910, is the oldest industrial power plant still in operation in Japan. The five hydroelectric power plants in the Chitose River basin have a generating capacity of 37,000 kW and are important sources of power for the Oji Paper Tomakomai Mill, located about 25 km away. They also supply power to customers around the Lake Shikotsu. After the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake in September 2018, the power plant was restored in about an hour and a half, making it the only power plant in Hokkaido to escape a blackout. Hydroelectric power generation has been attracting attention recently as a renewable, clean energy source with high energy conversion efficiency that emits no greenhouse gas from power generation. We will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through various approaches, including the effective use of energy.
