The first fully integrated viscose rayon manufacturer in Asia, from plantation to viscose fibre, is Asia Pacific Rayon (APR). They share a mill in Pangkalan Kerinci with their primary pulp supplier, Asia Pacific Resources International Limited, that has a capacity of 300,000. (APRIL).
APR manufactures biodegradable viscose rayon used in textile products as a part of the RGE Group, which Sukanto Tanoto created in 1973.
The ITMF’s director general, Mr. Christian Schindler, said that the organization’s members were “very pleased to welcome with Asia Pacific Rayon (APR), another significant fibre producer. All participants in the textile value chain have the chance to gather at an event like ITFM to talk about the opportunities and challenges facing the world today. In the modern era, a solitary assessment of the direct supply and demand structure to recognise trends further upstream and/or downstream would not be sufficient. Circularity and social compliance are two issues that are growing more important and have an impact on the entire textile supply chain. We are confident that joining the ITMF will be advantageous for both parties.
“Joining ITMF is having the ability to meet and share information, expertise, and practises with industry experts and stakeholders across the whole value chain is crucial for world-class firms like APR,” said Mr. Basrie Kamba, President Director of PT Asia Pacific Rayon. The epidemic has demonstrated the need of in-person discussions in our sector. In addition, I anticipate that the ITMF will deliver helpful and accurate statistics, reports, and research as well as online services that aid in maintaining awareness and improving understanding. change in the short, medium, and long terms.
