—The Beginning of the Age of “L”—
R金沙js4399o Begins Operations at the Shin-Nagoya Plant,
a Leading-edge Corrugated Plant Thoroughly Dedicated to the Concept of “Less is Mo金沙js4399.”R金沙js4399o Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Kiyoshi Otsubo) announces that it officially commenced operations today at the Shin-Nagoya Plant (Kasugai-shi, Aichi Prefecture), in place of R金沙js4399o's former Nagoya Plant (Higashi-ku, Nagoya-shi).
Ample consideration has been given to the environment at the new plant, including the introduction of photovoltaic power generation systems. The plant has been fitted with many such leading-edge technologies and design innovations meant to help protect the global environment, such as the first seismically isolated automated warehouse at a R金沙js4399o corrugated plant, which has been installed in order to improve safety during distribution work and accomplish efficient inventory management.
In addition to working to further reduce 金沙js4399ergy consumption and CO2 emissions, R金沙js4399o will realize its concept of “Less is more.” by aiming to create high-quality products with great added value that use fewer resources. In addition, this plant will serve as a central base for the R金沙js4399o Group in the Chubu region. R金沙js4399o will provide full support to the economy of the Chubu region—where increased development is expected due to the planned opening of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen, a high-speed train linking Tokyo and Nagoya—in the field of packaging.
