Subam Papers, established in 2004, specializes in manufacturing Kraft paper and paper products, positioning itself as a packaging solution provider. Unlike traditional manufacturers, it utilizes waste paper instead of wood pulp, promoting recycling. To reduce environmental impact, Subam generates renewable energy from its wind and solar installations, including two 850 KW windmills and a 14 MW solar plant.
The objective of the Subam Papers IPO is to raise funds for expanding production capacity, enhancing operational efficiencies, and reducing debt. The company aims to strengthen its financial position and support growth initiatives in the paper manufacturing sector.
