JP History
Japan Pulp and Paper Company Limited traces its roots to Kyoto, Japan in 1845, when Saburobei Nakai formed a company to market traditional Japanese paper. In the 150 years since, JP has grown from those modest beginnings to become of the world’s largest pulp and paper trading companies, handling every type of paper and paper-related product available. From its position as a paper specialist, JP has diversified into related fields, including printing machinery, building materials, office automation equipment and media products.
 The USA Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 3.5 billion dollar Japan Pulp and Paper Limited headquartered in Tokyo. As a member of the JP Group Overseas Division, JPUSA’s business activities are governed by both territories and product lines. In this fashion, the overseas offices have created a global network, providing the highest quality goods and services to customers worldwide. The first U.S. office was opened in 1974 in New York. Since that time U.S. operations have grown to include offices in Los Angeles (1981) and Atlanta (1989). In 1993 the New York head office was consolidated with and moved to Atlanta, with Atlanta becoming the U.S. headquarters. Talico S.A. de C.V. (Mexico City) was established in 1994 as JP’s subsidiary serving manufacturer’s and end-users in Mexico. With the acquisition of SafeShred (Los Angeles) in 1998, we have expanded our U.S. paper business to recycling. |
