The signing ceremony held at Leo Paper’s Heshan plant was attended by local
and regional Chinese media who were given a tour of the facility. Leo Paper’s
implementation of Infor solutions begins with its Heshan factory and is
expected to take 30 months. When the Heshan plant goes live, other sites in the
UK and US will follow suit.

 

Leo Paper has chosen Infor CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) and Infor OS
platform for cloud designed to bring business processes and artificial
intelligence together; Infor Configure Price Quote (CPQ) software to improve
sales targets; and Infor Mongoose for quick web application development and
deployment to replace its home-grown system that can no longer keep pace with
its expanding global business.

 

Infor CSI is a cloud-enabled, end-to-end industrial manufacturing solution
that will lay the roadmap for Leo Paper to utilize predictive analytics,
collaboration, artificial intelligence and other software tools from the same
solution to streamline operations for effectiveness, efficiency and
productivity. When implemented, Leo Paper will have about 1,200 concurrent
users globally.

 

“We have selected Infor CloudSuite solution which is scalable and can take
us on our Industry 4.0 transformation to automate and become a smarter, more intelligent
global printing and packaging enterprise that is nimble, highly-productive and
efficient,” said Johnny Fung, Group Managing Director at Leo Paper Group. “For
example, Infor CloudSuite Industrial will let us respond to the market backed
by operational insights that help us make sound decisions while Infor CPQ can
help us standardize our bill of materials procedure more effectively to improve
sales. These are new levels of efficiency and responsiveness we aim to achieve
in our pursuit of higher-quality services. We look forward to working with
Infor to roll out the solutions at our sites globally.”

 

The Leo Paper Group is an environmentally-conscious visionary organization
which has a green and digital plan to help transform its business. Headquartered
in Hong Kong SAR, it is the first private company in Hong Kong to secure a
Green Loan, and Leo Paper is deploying funds to transform its facility to be an

The group has seven trading companies in China, North America and Europe;
six manufacturing companies in Hong Kong and China, including its Heshan plant;
one technology company; two educational institutions in China and nine
supporting companies, employing a workforce of 13,000 people.

look forward to rolling out one of the largest number of concurrent users for
Infor CloudSuite Industrial in the printing and packaging sector,” said Helen
Masters, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Infor Asia Pacific. “With
