(Headquarters: Koshigaya, Saitama, Japan; President & COO: Mitsuru Shiga; hereinafter “Omori”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to establish a joint venture, J-Packaging Solutions Inc., in the North American market through its North American subsidiary, Omori North America Inc.

(Headquarters: Kyoto, Japan; hereinafter “Kyoto”). The new joint venture aims to deliver comprehensive, integrated packaging line solutions across North America.
Background and Objectives
In recent years, the manufacturing sector in North America has seen a rapidly growing demand for fully integrated packaging lines, spanning primary packaging, secondary packaging, and end-of-line automation, moving beyond the procurement of standalone machinery.
To address these evolving market needs, Omori Group and Kyoto Group will combine their complementary strengths: Omori’s industry-leading flow wrapping technology and Kyoto’s advanced capabilities in cartoning, case packing, and system integration. Together, the companies are establishing a powerful new business platform in North America.
J-Packaging Solutions Inc. will go beyond centralized project management by establishing local engineering and manufacturing operations, ensuring the delivery of high-quality packaging machinery and systems. Furthermore, by building a responsive, locally rooted customer support and aftermarket service network, the new venture will provide high-value, turn-key solutions to customers in the food and consumer packaged goods industries across North America.
