This achievement is the result of Samjung Pulp's constant efforts to prioritize customers and realize customer convenience since its establishment in 1974. Especially, it is a recognition of Samjung Pulp’s quality control which has been focused on preventing its toilet paper from being easily torn apart during use while ensuring the paper quickly dissolves in the toilet water after use.
“Samjung Pulp will use this top-quality result as a springboard to dedicate itself to making products customers can use with trust and convenience, thereby reinforcing its quality business management,” said Chun Sung-oh, CEO of Samjung Pulp.
