PROFILE |
 |
Call it corporate origami. Nippon Unipac Holding was created by folding two rivals together (Nippon Paper Industries and Daishowa Paper Manufacturing), resulting in the largest paper producer in Japan (more than a 30% share of the Japanese market). Nippon Unipac turns out newsprint and printing paper, converted paper products, packaging for liquids, and wood pulp. Through affiliates, the company makes paperboard, household paper goods, lumber, and chemicals. It also operates transportation and leisure businesses. Its mills are in Japan, but Nippon Unipac has plantation projects and import/export agreements with affiliates around the globe. The company plans on cutting it work force by about 17% over three years.
