The agreement was signed the previous day in Shanghai, China, with KleanNara CEO Choi Hyunsu, APP Group Global Business Division CEO Wang, and other key officials from both companies in attendance. The partnership marks an expansion from the import and sales relationship that began in 2013 to a full-fledged strategic partnership aimed at enhancing sustainability and global competitiveness.


Under this agreement, APP Group will be responsible for producing products for KleanNara's new premium eco-friendly brand. KleanNara plans to accelerate its entry into the global market by establishing a domestic distribution system based on ODM, expanding global exports, and growing its packaging business in the food and beverage, cosmetics, and premium consumer goods industries. In addition, KleanNara will introduce a diverse range of eco-friendly products centered on the new premium eco-friendly brand, including high-end packaging materials and pulp packaging for outer boxes. The company also aims to expand the application of this brand to various industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, and premium consumer goods both domestically and internationally.


Prior to this MOU, KleanNara and APP Group held a kickoff meeting on July 8 at KleanNara's headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, to discuss mutual cooperation for global market expansion.



CEO Choi stated, "This collaboration is a symbolic milestone signaling our transformation from a paper manufacturing company to a global paper distribution company offering total packaging solutions. We will continue to establish ourselves as an ESG-based global paper distribution company in both domestic and international markets through sustainable innovation, while also working to expand our cooperation with APP Group beyond packaging to other product categories and overseas raw material sourcing."
