China Paper - Focus on Shanghai 2014

After careful consideration, Adforum and EJK, the organizers of China Paper/China Forest have decided not to go ahead with the arrangements of China Paper/China Forest 2013 in Beijing, September 2-4, 2013. The focus will now lie on the coming China Paper event in Shanghai, September 15-17, 2014.

In the autumn of 2012 our former Chinese sales associate since several years back, China National Pulp and Paper Research Institute (CNPPRI), launched a competing show scheduled just a few weeks after China Paper/China Forest 2013.

Two similar trade shows that close to each other would not be beneficial for exhibitors, visitors or the industry as a whole. The organizers of China Paper/China Forest have therefore tried to negotiate a resolution with CNPPRI involving a merge of the two shows into one strong meeting place. Negotiation efforts have not been successful. Adforum/EJK have therefore decided to discontinue the arrangements of China Paper/China Forest 2013 in Beijing.

China Paper/China Forest has successfully served the needs of the industry since 1987, with exceedingly positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors alike. Adforum/EJK now invite Chinese and International exhibitors, visitors and industry professionals to the 21st edition of China Paper in Shanghai, September 15-17, 2014. Like previous editions, the show is taking place at INTEX, Shanghai, featuring a highest quality international exhibition and conference.

The last China Paper Shanghai in 2012 proved once again the excellent reputation and track record of the event with visitor figures up 11% from the year before. More than 7300 highly qualified attendees and buyers from across China and 52 other countries could enjoy an exhibition of almost 400 companies.

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.
