Business
Japan Pulp and Paper Company Limited (8032.T) is a Japan-based trading company primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of pulp, paper, paperboards, and related products; it also manufactures and processes paper products, recycles raw materials, generates renewable energy, develops ICT systems, and leases real estate. Founded in 1845 and formally established in 1916, the company is headquartered at Forefront Tower, 3-12-1 Kachidoki, Chuo-Ku, Tokyo 104-8656, Japan, and operates through five main segments: Domestic Wholesale, which handles sales of papers, paperboards, information equipment, warehousing, transportation, and information services; Overseas Wholesale, focusing on international sales of paper products; Paper Processing, involving manufacturing and processing of paper and paperboards; Environmental Raw Materials, covering waste paper and pulp sales, recycling, and power generation; and Real Estate Leasing. The company serves diverse industries and daily consumer needs across 22 countries and regions, with 52.8% of revenue from outside Japan, supported by 133 group companies and 4,831 consolidated employees as of March 31, 2025. Recent strategic expansions include the October 2024 acquisitions of Inapa Deutschland GmbH in Germany and Inapa France SAS in France to strengthen its European paper distribution network, alongside earlier moves such as the April 2025 acquisition of Seibunsha to bolster domestic wholesale operations and the March completion of a 20% stake in Masuko Seishi K.K. In November 2025, the company announced changes to its dividend policy introducing a DOE index, increased dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and ongoing share repurchases via ToSTNeT-3, reflecting efforts to enhance shareholder returns amid consolidated revenue of 554.5 billion yen.
