Asia Pacific Rayon (APR), a leading viscose rayon producer, is set to increase its production capacity to 600,000 tonnes to meet the strong growth potential of viscose staple fibre (VSF) and strengthen its market position in Indonesia and regional export markets. The company uses the latest technology to produce high-quality rayon to meet textile needs.
The additional capacity will be achieved through improved optimisation and efficiencies, and by adding a 300,000-tonne viscose production facility in Pangkalan Kerinci, where APR is co-located with sister company and fibre supplier, April group. The expansion will utilise April’s current AE pulp capacity from existing pulp production lines, with fibre supply sourced from April’s existing responsibly managed renewable fibre plantations in compliance with internationally recognised forest certification standards and its Sustainable Forest Management Policy (SFMP2.0). It is also consistent with the company’s recently announced APRIL2030 commitments and targets, according to APR.
