Preparations have stepped up a notch in the build up to Sappi Fine Paper Europe’s presence at DRUPA, the leading trade fair for media and print (May 3-16, Dusseldorf, Germany). In a shift from the traditional ‘single stand’ approach, Sappi will be connecting with its partners and customers throughout the event, under the theme of “People behind Paper behind People” in a variety of locations at the venue. We are looking forward to showcasing our products and our initiatives, whilst highlighting the importance of collaboration and partnership.
Sappi people will be linking up with partners and customers during DRUPA 2012, presenting
their products, their new technical platform (Houston), and the role of Sappi’s people at the
heart of our business.
Berry Wiersum, CEO Sappi Fine Paper Europe said,
“Our industry is going through some particularly challenging times. We want to use our presence at this year’s DRUPA fair to touch base with our suppliers, customers and their customers with a view to using collaboration as a tool to re-energise our industry, fuel optimism and remind people of the positive story paper has to tell.”
We’ll come and find you, but in the meantime, come and join us at the following locations:
