HLI has invested a total of RM 445.2 million on a pioneer investment in Malaysia's only newsprint mill. The investment comprises a 33.65% stake in Malaysian Newsprint Industries Sdn Bhd (MNI).

MNI operates a newsprint mill located in the Temerloh Industrial Park at Mentakab. MNI employs the latest technology in paper-making with an installed capacity of 250,000 tonnes of newsprint per annum. It operates a combined heat and power plant which is the dedicated supplier of power and processes steam to the newsprint mill.

MNI's operations involve recycling old newspapers and old magazines into premium paper quality for today's modern presses with reliable runnability and consistent printability. MNI ensures its customers receive superior service through faster and more uniform deliveries to eliminate transit damages, reduce delivery lead times and lower stock holdings.

The establishment of MNI meant Malaysia would have a local supply of world-class, premium grade newsprint.
