On December 1, 2024, the Inapa Deutschland Group will take the final step in its corporate development and will henceforth operate under the new name OVOL Deutschland Group. This change is a significant milestone in the growth strategy of the parent company Japan Pulp and Paper Co., Ltd. (JPP), which is further expanding its market presence in Europe, especially in Germany, through the acquisition of Inapa Deutschland and its subsidiaries. The repositioning under the OVOL brand stands for high standards in paper and packaging solutions.
Global reach and local expertise
The acquisition of the Inapa Deutschland Group by JPP represents a significant milestone in the company's European expansion strategy. JPP, headquartered in Tokyo, is a global leader in the paper industry and operates over 100 branches in numerous countries, including the USA, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and India. As a subsidiary of JPP, OVOL operates globally.
In its role as JPP's sales and trading organization, OVOL strengthens the company's presence in the European market. With the integration of the Inapa Deutschland Group and the acquisition of Inapa France, JPP further strengthens its position in Europe and pursues the vision of becoming the leading company in its market segment worldwide by 2030.
Change of name of the Inapa Germany companies to OVOL
With the transfer of operations and the change of name, the names of the previous Inapa companies will change as follows:
• Inapa Deutschland GmbH becomes OVOL Papier Deutschland GmbH
• Inapa ComPlott GmbH becomes OVOL ComPlott GmbH
• Inapa Packaging GmbH becomes OVOL Packaging GmbH
Strengthening market position and customer satisfaction
The change of name is a strategic step to further strengthen the OVOL brand in Europe and to create added value for customers in Germany. “With OVOL, we are bringing a strong international brand to Germany and at the same time building on local knowledge and proven partnerships,” emphasize Managing Directors Thomas Schimanowski and Martin Tewes.
The future as OVOL Deutschland Group
The renaming marks the beginning of a new era based on trust, innovation and partnership. Customers and partners of the former Inapa Deutschland Group can be confident that the OVOL Deutschland Group - consisting of OVOL Papier Deutschland GmbH, OVOL ComPlott GmbH and OVOL Packaging GmbH - will continue to set the highest standards and increase its performance with the global support of JPP. With JPP as a global player at its side, the OVOL Deutschland Group is well positioned for the future. It will benefit from its strong market position, which will be further expanded with the takeover by JPP.
