MAPEC seeks to present optimal proposals and satisfy every need of its customers.

Marubeni Pulp & Paper Engineering Corporation has brought together a team of project management experts to develop a business comprising multidiscipline engineering and consulting services specifically for pulp and paper plants.

In recent years, plant facilities are increasingly manufactured and delivered at home and abroad under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction system or "EPC." This is a system whereby an order is placed for a whole integrated process, including design, procurement, and construction. The EPC system enables the complete coordination of different processes that have previously been handled separately on individual orders, resulting in design optimization, device quality improvement, and faster delivery. In addition, customers can expect considerable cost reductions as a result of improved configuration of systems and facilities. And when a project is carried out with the help of experienced EPC contractors, investors and banks can have greater confidence in its success.

Based on this, MAPEC is developing its capacity in the area of feasibility studies (surveys and evaluations of a project's feasibility) in the initial phase of projects. This will enable us to propose project plans to customers that take into account technology and cost efficiency.

We use such feasibility studies to carry out a comprehensive review to determine the type and size of your plant, and to verify a range of factors relating to the project, including its economic efficiency and effects on the environment. In this way, we start helping customers right from the planning phase.

In multidiscipline engineering projects, it is of utmost importance that each phase be managed in a well-organized way by specialists working under a project manager who has advanced professional expertise and broad experience. As part of its total support services, MAPEC is drawing on the many years of experience accumulated at Marubeni Corporation to aggressively develop project processes ranging from planning to hand over.
