Print and Paper supply Chain Conference
In conjunction with the National Association of Paper Merchants (NAPM) we are holding a national conference on future prospects for the print and paper supply chain in London on 27 September (with a networking dinner the night before). The conference seeks to raise awareness of the implications for both printers and paper suppliers of the Roadmap to 2050 strategy recently published by European papermakers’ body CEPI (see http://www.unfoldthefuture.eu/uploads/CEPI-2050-Roadmap-to-a-low-carbon-bio-economy.pdf ), which confirms that despite demand for graphic paper continuing to fall, paper price pressures will continue as competition for resources increases and the papermaking sector repositions itself as the forest fibre industry at the core of the EU low carbon economy (with plans to achieve 50% more added value on the road to 2050 whilst cutting CO2 emissions by 80%).
Speakers confirmed to date: David Allen (Executive Vice President, PaperlinX), David Williams (Director of Marketing, Tesco Stores Ltd), Thomas Ehrnrooth, (Vice President, Marketing UPM-Kymmene), Nigel Stubley (CEO, Northend Print Solutions), Marco Mensink (Energy & Environment Director, Confederation of European Paper Industries).

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
