Our Operations
We serve a global customer base, from our integrated end-to-end supply chain in Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia.
INTEGRATED OPERATIONS
End-to-End Integration
Vertical integration of upstream and downstream activities ensures quality assurance and value creation in the products we supply to our customers and makes our sustainability performance across our production cycle clearly trackable.
UPSTREAM OPERATIONS
Sustainably Managed Resources
We manage 1,425,548 hectares of land supporting a range of activities. Sustainably managed commercial plantations make up nearly 43% of total area under management, consisting of 12 forestry concessions run by us, and 28 managed by supply partners who sell exclusively to us.
Approximately 34,487ha in 20 community fibre plantations are designated for use by local communities to generate income through the cultivation of timber, non-timber forest products, and other crops. APRIL supports these activities by training of local communities in best-practice forestry and agriculture.

DOWNSTREAM OPERATIONS
Meeting Growing Demand
We keep close watch on evolving market needs so we can respond quickly and efficiently. We’ve diversified our downstream offering over the years. In 2018, we added a new production line for viscose staple fibre, and we introduced a new paperboard production line in 2024 to respond to the increased customer demand for sustainable packaging. To support production growth, we have achieved significant increases in the productivity of our plantations, delivering greater fibre supply without expanding our plantation footprint.
Our state-of-the-art mill has an annual production capacity of 4 million tonnes of pulp, 1.15 million tonnes of paper, over 440,000 tonnes of viscose, and 1.2 million tonnes of recyclable and biodegradable paperboard.
RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
Prioritising Efficiencies in Energy and Water Use
Sustainability is also key to our downstream operations. We employ lean manufacturing practices that prioritise efficient energy consumption and responsible water use while minimising emissions. Our operational framework is underpinned by rigorous international certifications, including PEFC Chain of Custody and ISO standards, ensuring our manufacturing processes meet the highest global benchmarks.
This commitment to responsible production extends throughout our supply chain, from sustainable plantation management to advanced manufacturing processes, creating a resilient and efficient operational ecosystem.
