Leveraging the company바카라s status as a leading supplier of pulp to India, APRIL바카라s acquisition of the controlling stake in Origami also enables the group to 바카라Make in India바카라 to further support foreign direct investment in local production.
바카라Together, APRIL and Origami are stronger,바카라 Mr. Kulkarni added. 바카라With this acquisition, APRIL is well-positioned to drive increasing penetration and access to high quality and sustainably produced tissue paper and other products to the Indian consumer.
