Packaging Paper Market Upheaval Has Started.
Turbulence in the ANZ packaging and industrial papers market is guaranteed over the next few years. With major corporate changes, the increased internationalisation of ownership of big packaging paper players and the constant battle for market share, predicting the future is becoming more and more difficult.
Amcor's departure from much of the sector by the creation of Orora, Orora itself clearly being of interest to a range of potential, off-shore owners, the recent purchase by Oji Holdings of Carter Holt Harvey Pulp, Paper and Packaging, Visy's international moves, rising mid-market players like Colorpak, increasing imports, closure of the Petrie cartonboard mill, operation of B9 at Botany and continuing exports of massive quantities of recovered fibre, all signal change is underway and continuous.
Only this Market Outlook Foum will explore these issues in a timely manner, with opportunities for delegates to drill into the details in Q&A sessions and networking breaks.
Speakers and presenters at the Market Outlook Forum will share their insights and strategies to build their positions, secure supply and find a more permanent place in the increasingly dynamic packaging and industrial paper sector.
