Welcome to the January/February edition of Pulp, Paper & Logistics. As with each New Year the pulp and paper industry faces new challenges and changing demands from customers looking for new types and quality of product.
Last year the growth in both packaging and tissue production resulted in many mills cranking up their output to keep up with demand. With these increases in output, so equipment and service suppliers also saw greater call for better systems to control processes and cut out waste.
The changes in the markets have also continued with a decline in newsprint and an increase in tissue products, especially in Asia, both of which mean investment in new mill machinery and complete lines.
Looking at our magazine’s growth and co-operation with pulp-paperworld.com, which hosts our digital edition, we again saw an increase in the number of times each issue was read. For the November-December issue the figure exceeded 15,000.
Looking forward to this year’s trade shows we can look forward to Tissue World in Barcelona, Spain (www.tissueworld.com) from 17-19 March, Zellcheming in Frankfurt, Germany (www.zellcheming.de) from 30 June to 2 July, China Paper in Shanghai from 14-16 October (www.chinapaperexpo.cn) plus MIAC 2015 in Lucca, Italy, also from 14-16 October (www.miac.info).
In the next March-April issue we will be featuring the following subject areas: chemicals, additives, coatings and pigments; mill maintenance and paper mill sheeting and cut-to-size technology. If you have new products or services in these sectors, editorial submissions are required by 13 March.
