WEYERHAEUSER HISTORY IN JAPAN

• WY relationship with Japan started after the Great Kanto

Earthquake in 1923 when we exported a large volume of timber

to help in the reconstruction.

• Weyerhaeuser’s Japan office was established in 1963 to support

the import of pulp (fiber used for paper production).

• In 1965, WY’s first west coast sourced log and lumber were

shipped to Japan; the export of wood chips to Japan was also

started in the same year.

• From 1976 to 1979, WY established a joint venture business,

Norpac (manufacturer of newsprint) with Jujo Paper Co (now

named Nippon Paper Industries Co) located in Longview,

Washington.

• In 1981 Weyerhaeuser Japan started the first dimension lumber

exports to Japan for homebuilding.

• Approximately 10% of Weyerhaeuser sales are to Japan. | 01/07/13 6
