Loparex Opens New Sales Offices in Japan and Thailand

June 9, 2006

Loparex Group, a leading manufacturer of siliconised release liners and speciality papers, is strengthening its presence in Asia-Pacific. New sales offices have recently been opened in Japan and Thailand.

Loparex Japan KK has started its operations the 1st of June 2006 and Mr Yasuyoshi Kawabe has been nominated as Sales Director of this new company.

"The opening of this new company means that Loparex is now fully separated from UPM-Kymmene Corporation, and all Loparex product sales in Japan are handled through our own sales office", confirms Mr Kawabe. "Having our own sales structure in Japan is of high importance for Loparex. We want to be able to develop our operations locally and with long-term thinking, and to ensure that our Japanese customers will get the best possible service also in the future."

Mr Kawabe has already been in charge of selling Loparex products in Japan at UPM since 2001 (previously under Nippon Finnpap name). He is entirely dedicated to the Japanese market and responsible for all Japanese enquiries on Loparex's release liners and speciality papers.

In Thailand, Loparex sales are handled by a brand new sales office located in Bangkok. Ms Tanarrato Tanaka, responsible for Loparex sales in Thailand, has joined the company last September to establish Loparex's sales structure in Thailand. The Loparex Thailand office represents products from all Loparex Group plants.
