（吉隆坡8日讯）Nextgreen Global Bhd周一与IOI集团（IOI Corp Bhd）签署股东协议，在彭亨州建一座纸浆厂，到2026年可能贡献超过3亿令吉的营业额。

Nextgreen和IOI将以55:45比例成立联营公司，负责这座耗资6亿令吉的纸浆生产工厂的开发和营运。

该工厂的初始产能为每年10万吨由油棕空果串（EFB）制成的化学漂白纸浆。

IOI将提供空果串，这是来自油棕工业的副产品废物。这项联营合作，将利用Nextgreen的技术，把农作废弃物转化为绿色和可持续产品，如不含磨木浆的纸张、纸巾、包装纸和纸浆模塑包装。

Nextgreen董事经理拿督林添发在股东协议签署仪式的新闻发布会上表示，该公司已经找到买家，日本纸浆贸易商丸紅株式会社（Marubeni Corp）将购买工厂于2026年投产时生产的首批10万吨纸浆。

“我们实际上已经收到丸紅的承购意向书。但同时这不会限制我们进一步与中国客户接洽。”

该厂将建在Nextgreen位于北根的410英亩绿色科技园内。

目前，该工业园仅占用了43英亩，但一旦完成，整个工业园的目标是每年生产约40万吨纸浆等。

IOI董事经理拿督李耀祖表示，与Nextgreen的合作，将有助于该公司实现净零排放目标。

“长期以来，我们一直将利用棕榈生物质进行增值视为循环经济中的一项重要活动。这是一个良好的合作伙伴关系，我们认为这是一个非常可扩展的联营，首间厂将坐落在彭亨。”

林添发补充，可能会在东马建设更多类似的工厂。

KUALA LUMPUR (April 8): Nextgreen Global Bhd on Monday signed a shareholders’ agreement with IOI Corp Bhd to develop a paper pulp plant in Pahang which may contribute over RM300 million in revenue by 2026.

The RM600 million paper pulp production facility will be developed and operated by a new joint venture company to be incorporated following the shareholders’ agreement. Nextgreen will hold a 55% stake in the joint venture Nextgreen IOI Pulp Sdn Bhd, and IOI Corp will hold the remaining 45%.

The plant will have an initial annual capacity of 100,000 tonnes of chemical bleached pulp made from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB). The EFB, which will be supplied by IOI Corp, is a byproduct waste from oil palm industries that is typically unutilised.

The venture will transform the agricultural waste into green and sustainable products such as wood-free paper, tissue paper, packaging paper and pulp-moulded packaging.

Nextgreen managing director Datuk Lim Thiam Huat said the company has secured a buyer, Japan-based paper pulp trader Marubeni Corp, for its first 100,000 tonnes to be produced by the joint venture when the plant starts production in 2026.

“We have actually gotten the letter of intent from Marubeni for the paper pulp offtaker,” he said at a press conference following the signing ceremony. “But at the same time, this will not limit us from going further to [engage with] customers from China as well.”

Nextgreen Global Bhd MD Datuk Lim Thiam Huat said the company has secured a buyer, Japan-based paper pulp trader Marubeni Corp, for its first 100,000 tonnes to be produced by the joint venture when the plant starts production in 2026.

The plant will be constructed within Nextgreen’s 410-acre Green Technology Park in Pekan centred on paper and pulp. In addition, projects in the park also include fertiliser, animal feed, research and education, as well as renewable energy, according to its website.

So far, only 43 acres of the industrial park have been taken up, but once completed, the entire industrial park is targeted to produce about 400,000 tonnes of paper pulp each year among other projects.

Venture a part of IOI Corp’s net zero emissions target

For IOI Corp, the venture with Nextgreen, along with its palm wood venture using oil palm trunks, will help the company achieve its net zero emissions target, said MD Datuk Lee Yeow Chor.

“We have long regarded the utilisation of palm-based biomass for value-added applications as an important activity within the circular economy,” he said. “This is a good partnership, and we think that this is a very scalable kind of venture with the first plant in Pahang.”

IOI Corp Bhd MD Datuk Lee Yeow Chor: We have long regarded the utilisation of palm-based biomass for value-added applications as an important activity within the circular economy.

There could be more similar factories that could be set up in East Malaysia, either in Sabah or Sarawak, Lim added.

For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2023 (FY2023), Nextgreen’s net profit fell 29% to RM9.65 million from RM13.61 million in the previous year, despite revenue almost doubling to RM63.73 million from RM32.93 million.

Besides the absence of certain non-operating income, Nextgreen attributed the lower net profit to lower gross profit margin from its construction contracts and reduction in revenue attributed to the printing and publishing segment due to the lower customer orders.

In FY2023, the manufacturing segment contributed the most revenue to the group at 51.4% of total revenue, followed by property and construction at 43% and printing and publishing at 5.6%.
