Rengo Co., Japan, has announced that its consolidated subsidiary Tri-Wall Limited has established TW Michigan Inc., a joint venture in Michigan (USA) for manufacturing and sales of heavy duty packaging materials, through Tri-Wall’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

TW Michigan is a joint venture with HG Packaging LLC, a company located in the suburbs of Detroit, Mich., which mainly supplies heavy duty packaging for automobile component manufacturers.

Rengo carries out its packaging materials business related to heavy duty corrugated packaging mainly in Asia and Europe through the Tri-Wall Group. By having this manufacturing and sales location in the U.S., where the manufacturing sector, including the automobile industry, is expected to return, Rengo aims to further strengthen its business and meet packaging needs, which are becoming more diverse and global.
