History:
Daio Paper was founded in Shikokuchuo City, Ehime Prefecture in 1943 and developed its business around the production and sale of newsprint and paperboard.
In 1978, Daio Paper entered the paper market on a full-fledged basis; in 1979, the Company utilized its papermaking technology to enter the sanitary paper market with its Elleair brand; in the 1980s, Daio Paper drew on marketing expertise cultivated through Elleair to enter markets for related products like disposable diapers, feminine care products, and wet wipes, thereby building a unique business portfolio
In 2011, Daio Paper began a full-scale overseas expansion of the H&PC business, establishing production facilities in Thailand, China, and Indonesia with a basic strategy of local production for local consumption, and actively rolling out H&PC products, centering on disposable baby diapers. Going forward, the Company will create additional business groupings through multi-product sales with sanitary paper and other products, and further expand business in areas with high growth potential.
