The facility, operated under the Oji Liquid Pak (OLP) name, spans 57,000 square meters at the Long Thanh High-tech Industrial Park. Scheduled to begin operations in 2028, the plant will supply aseptic carton packaging for beverages and liquid food products, with a capacity to produce up to eight billion packs annually. This investment creates over 200 new jobs and supports Vietnam's evolving extended producer responsibility framework and transition to a circular economy. Terauchi Mikito, a corporate officer at OJI Holdings Corporation, stated that Vietnam is an important market and strategic manufacturing base within Southeast Asia. OJI Group's experience in forest resources, paper, packaging, and recycling will be leveraged at the plant in Southeast Asia. Kestutis Sliuzas, CEO of Oji Liquid Pak, emphasized the industry's shift towards performance, food safety, operational flexibility, and circularity, with Oji Liquid Pak aiming to provide solutions ready for the market today and adaptable to the future.
