Transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary
WHO WE ARE
PaperOne™ Story
PaperOne™, a premium quality paper brand designed for the most demanding high-speed printing and copying tasks, was launched by APRIL Group on 6 May 1998.
Our Journey to Industry Leadership
Determined to make PaperOne™ a clear industry leader, we benchmarked our home, office and commercial printing paper products against top international paper brands across all areas, including thickness, opacity and archival qualities. The moisture-proof wrappers of PaperOne™ products were meticulously designed, from the choice of colors and logo typeface to the strategic placement of product information. We also ensured that our PaperOne™ carton boxes would be reusable, ergonomic and lightweight.
A Global Brand
PaperOne™ debuted in the most demanding international markets in 1998, launching in the USA, Europe and Japan. Today, our global brand PaperOne™ is sold in more than 110 countries, delivering consistent professional printing quality with minimal environmental impact.

Our Papermaking Process
Discover the paper-making process with APRIL
Paper is an important part in our everyday lives. We use it for communicating, connecting and having fun with each other. But how is paper actually made? How do we turn wood into sheets of paper for our use?
We plant over a 150 millions trees in our plantations every year before they are transported to our mills to be turned into paper. Papermaking actually involves various processes to turn that wood log into our everyday paper products. However there are three key steps to the process of papermaking.

Upstream (Integrated)
Logs of eucalyptus and acacia trees from sustainably managed forests are cut into woodchips
Paper Machines
The woodchips are steamed and boiled to remove lignin, the “glue” that holds the fibre of wood together. What’s left after this removal? You get the fibre, now in the form of slurry pulp
Intermediate Roll Storage
The slurry pulp is pumped into a papermaking machine where excess water is removed and formed into jumbo rolls of thin sheets
Sheeter
The jumbo roll of paper is further converted into three product types: – Customer Roll – Folio – Cut-size, like the PaperOne you see sold in stores
Warehouse
All the paper products are stored in warehouses, in preparation for loading into shipping containers
Container Yard
The containers are loaded into ships, ready to be distributed to stores and customers
APRIL’s paper products are marketed in over 110 countries, and shipped around the world from two custom-built ports in Riau province.
