Founded in 1955 as a small mill with one 1.2-m wide tissue machine and nine employees, Marutomi has grown into one of Japan’s largest producers of toilet rolls with a market share that it estimates to be around 14%. For raw material, it uses only 100% recycled fiber with about 95% of its production being toilet tissue and the remaining 5% facial tissue.
