== History ==
Line 34:
The brand name of the synthetic paper is Yupo, which is a combination of "YU" from Mitsubishi Yuka, "P" from paper, and "O" from Oji Paper Co.<ref name= "shashi_P.143-144" /> The initial strategy was to sell their products as a substitute for [[coated paper]] and other similar products, but the cost increase caused by the [[1970s energy crisis]] made them change that strategy to sell it instead for applications which paper was ill suited for.<ref name= "shashi_P.143-144" />
For a long time, the Kashima Plant in [[Ibaraki Prefecture]] was the only production base, but due to the growth in exports, Yupo expanded to a second production base in the [[United States]] in 1998 for domestic production and sales.<ref name= "shashi_P.470-472" >Company history main edition, P.470-472</ref> A sales company was also established in Europe in 2000.<ref name= "shashi_P.470-472" /> Yupo also has multiple sales offices in Asia.<ref>{{Cite web |
