HONG KONG, Feb. 7 /CNW/ - PACRIM INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL INC. (PCN:TSX) ("Pacrim") holds 46% of the outstanding shares of Pacrim International Capital Holdings Inc., which in turn has an indirect 75.07% interest in Wah Sang Paper Products (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. ("WSPP"), a packaging company in the People's Republic of China. Pacrim is pleased to announce that WSPP has signed an exclusive marketing agreement with Netherlands-based Smurfit Kappa Solid Board Mills ("SK SBM"), a division of Smurfit Kappa Group, for the mutual development of the market in China for solid board packaging products. WSPP imports, produces, and markets packaging products and packaging solutions. SK SBM is a solid board sheet manufacturing company that markets its sheets for packaging purposes in Europe, the United States, Africa, and Asia.
The objective of the marketing agreement is to develop the Chinese market for solid board packaging products using the sheets of SK SBM. The solid board packaging products market is currently almost non-existent in southern China where WSPP has a strong customer base. SK SBM will supply to WSPP on an exclusive basis solid board packaging sheets and technical assistance in the converting of solid board packaging products. SK SBM will also assist in the design and marketing of solid board packaging products in China.
The Chinese retail market for solid board packaging products is developing rapidly. Western logistical approaches are being adopted in order to meet the rapidly growing market demand for a wider variety of fresh products. International retail chains and local retail companies are rapidly expanding their businesses in China and creating demand for more sophisticated packaging. Markets that will be targeted include meat, poultry, fish, and fruits and vegetables (fresh or frozen). Low volume markets such as specialized or luxury packaging and displays are also to be targeted.
