17 Dec 2014



It’s reported that the 2015 TAPPI International Best Practice Seminar will be held in Shanghai from 14 to 17 April, 2015, concurrently with SinoCorrugated 2015. TAPPI, the Technological Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry, has been cooperating with Reed Exhibitions, organizer of SinoCorrugated, for years and they have successfully organized two editions of TAPPI International Best Practice Seminars already.

TAPPI is the world’s leading technology and industry association in pulp, papermaking and paper-processing industries. TAPPI members enjoy access to information, training and knowledge –sharing opportunities provided by the association. Founded in 1915, the association has a history of 100 years and has become the world’s largest specialized association providing services for pulp, papermaking and paper-processing industries. It plays an important role in the development of global pulp, papermaking and paper-processing industries.

Reed Exhibitions began working with TAPPI in 2011 when the two joined hands in holding the first edition of TAPPI International Best Practice Seminar. Since then, SinoCorrugated and the TAPPI International Forum have been providing advanced technologies, management experience, latest information and precious opportunities for China’s corrugated cases producers to better understand the world’s corrugated industry as a whole and have created a new dimension for the development of China’s corrugated industry.
On October 21, 2014, Scott Springmier, Manager of TAPPI’s Pulp and Paper Division, and Eric T. Fletty, Vice President of TAPPI’s Operations Division, met with Alex Wang, Project Director of Reed Exhibitions, and Susie Zhang, Assistant Marketing Manager of Reed Exhibitions, in Shanghai and held talks on joint organization of the 2015TAPPI International Best Practice Seminar. So far, Reed Exhibitions and TAPPI have successfully organized two editions of TAPPI international forum, which have been spoken highly of by industry insiders. Thanks to the experience in years of cooperation and mutual trust, the two parties had a pleasant talk and reached a preliminary agreement— the 2015 TAPPI International Forum will be held concurrently with SinoCorrugated 2015. After the meeting, both parties expressed high expectations for the upcoming cooperation. As 2015 coincides with TAPPI’s 100th anniversary, to which TAPPI attaches great importance, it will organize activities celebrating it for a whole year, including events demonstrating its century-long history that it feels proud of and its promising future. At the same time, it will also celebrate enormous achievements that have been made over the years in pulp, papermaking and paper processing industries and express gratitude to industry colleagues for their painstaking efforts. These will be important events for pulp, papermaking and paper processing industries in 2015. Hot on the heels of the international Best Practice Seminar alongside SinoCorrugated 2015, TAPPI will hold a grand celebration in Atlanta, U.S. from 18 to 25 April, 2015, which is expected to bring together all the important figures of the industry. Reed Exhibitions, organizer of SinoCorrugated, will also send representatives to extend its congratulations.

SinoCorrugated 2015 and 2015 TAPPI International Forum will meet again in China, bringing together the elites of global pulp, papermaking and paper-processing industries, who will enjoy together a technology feast and share industry experience and latest information. It is believed that the increasingly frequent exchanges will promote the development of China’s carton industry and speed up its integration into the world’s carton industry.

SinoCorrugated is the world’s leading industry exhibition for corrugated equipment, supplies and technologies. It brings together suppliers of advanced carton and cardboard manufacturing equipment with trade buyers who have high purchasing power. The SinoCorrugated show floor also attracts suppliers from developed and emerging markets, making it the standout event for the global corrugated packaging industry. As the trusted barometer of the developmental status of the industry, in 2015 SinoCorrugated will again serve as an excellent platform for ambitious exhibitors to meet powerful buyers, conduct business and conduct technical exchange, explore cooperation opportunities, tap into emerging markets, promote their brand and network with key business contacts from the corrugated packaging and printing industry.
