His Royal Highness spent 20 minutes visiting the display room showcasing the company's products, which include boxes, shelves, battery chargers, old cartons, and disposable diapers.
Sultan Sharafuddin also visited the paper manufacturing factory, equipped with the latest technology, as well as the integrated power plant, raw water intake, and processing plant.
Although the factory's construction was completed on November 15 last year, the facility provided packaging services for paper rolls on September 30, while commercial production began on April 1 this year.
The RM1.2 billion project offers local packaging facilities of consistent quality and a fast supply of finished products to clients.
An extensive local and international waste paper collection network ensures that GSPP will have sufficient raw materials to meet consumer demands.
