Oji Holdings

Founded in 1873 as Shoshi Kaisha by industrialist Shibusawa Eiichi, Oji Holdings was given its current name 20 years later due to the location of its initial paper mills, which were in the village of Oji.

In the 1930s, it amalgamated with Japan's two other major paper producers, Fuji Paper and Karafuto Industry, to form a company that supplied 78 percent of Japan's paper requirements. It became a pure holding company in 2012, and it also became the world's third-largest forest, paper, and packaging company in the same year.

The company is well known for producing printing, writing, and packaging paper, as well as containers constructed from paper products and chemicals used in the manufacture of paper packaging equipment. Paper, pulp, and processed paper items are all produced by the corporation. Containerboards, corrugated containers, folding cartons, paper bags, printing and publication papers, and newsprint are among the products available.

Oji Holdings presently employs 36,810 people across production sites and forestry activities in Australia, Brazil, and Germany, according to analytics firm GlobalData. Masatoshi Kaku, the company's CEO, and the president is in charge of a company with $14.3 billion in net revenues, according to its annual report for 2019.
