Pulp and Paper Mills in Japan (26)

Kanzaki Mill is about 15 kilometers to the south of Osaka International Airport or 1 kilometer to the east of Amagasaki Station, and is located at the mouth of Kanzaki River which divides Osaka and Amagasaki.This mill had been an integrated pulp and paper mill since 1948 when the mill was rebuilt on the ruins of war. In the first half of the 1960's, however, all the pulping facilities and most of the paper machines were scrapped one after another for environmental protection measures and the mill became a converted paper mill specializing in the manufacture of art paper and specialty papers such as carbonless copy paper.The mill site covers an area of about 215, 000 square meters and the mill's employees now count about 1, 000.
