Adforum and Restec Brooks launch IPX Russia 2013

IPX Russia 2013 is the second event in the Adforum IPX series to be launched. It is a new international event for the pulp and paper industry aiming to attract a majority of quality Russian buyers. The first IPX Russia will take place in Moscow, April 9-11, 2013.

- With the rapid economic growth of the Russian pulp and paper industry we felt there was a need for a dedicated trade show for pulp and paper machinery, says Marcus Bergström, CEO of Adforum. - We have chosen Moscow as its location, as this is the real financial and political centre of Russia providing excellent transportation links from abroad. This gives the exhibition the potential of becoming truly international, Bergström continues.

IPX Russia welcomes exhibitors showing machinery, equipment, accessories and raw material for the pulp and paper related industries. A top level technical conference as well as a number of social activities will take place alongside the exhibition offering participants invaluable networking possibilities. IPX Russia will be part of the well established and reputable Moscow International Forestry Forum, organised since 2003.

IPX Russia is a joint venture between Adforum, the world’s leading organiser of international pulp and paper events, and Restec Brooks Company, a subsidiary of the Restec Exhibition Company, the leading exhibition organiser in Russia.
  
- The Adforum-Restec Brooks partnership is bound to be a successful one, says Alexander Raspopin, MD of Restec Brooks. - Adforum has a strong portfolio of international pulp and paper shows and Restec Brooks has the knowledge and experience when it comes to the Russian market. We are looking forward to working closely with Adforum towards an excellent event.

In 1968, Adforum was engaged by The Swedish Association of Pulp and Paper Engineers (SPCI) to organise their first exhibition at Folkets Hus in Stockholm. The SPCI World Pulp and Paper Week in 2008 was the 14th event since then.

In Finland, Adforum has arranged a number of events since 1989 in conjunction with the Finnish Paper Engineers' Association (PI). The last event was the PulPaper exhibition, held at the Finnish Fair Corporation, June 1-3, 2010.

Since September 2009, Adforum has entered a strategic cooperation with the US based exhibition company E.J Krause & Associates, organising the China Paper conference and exhibition held biennually in Beijing and biennually in Shanghai. Next in line is China Paper Shanghai, 15-17 September 2010.

Adforum has also taken the initiative to give the American TAPPI expo a new design, using SPCI as a model. The first exhibition held under the new concept was co-arranged by Adforum and TAPPI in February 1980 in Atlanta, USA.

SPCI ´92 ATICELCA took place in May 1992 in Bologna, and was a collaboration between The Italian Association of Paper Engineers, ATICELCA, SPCI and Adforum.

Over the years, Adforum has organised exhibitions and conferences in Helsinki, Stockholm, St Petersburg, Dublin, Rio de Janeiro and Brussels. All in all, Adforum has organised several hundred events.
