- We have many returning exhibitors, who are loyal to the show and participate to keep up the good relations with customers in this very important market, says Patrik Löwstedt, Exhibition Manager. We are also pleased to welcome some new exhibitors to Beijing this year. Many companies have realised that if you are or want to become active in this exciting market, China Paper is an excellent stepping stone.

Allimand S.A. is one of the companies that is a recurrent exhibitor. Allimand is a paper machine manufacturer based in France, whose exports have now reached 85% of its sales. The company has been active in Asia for a long time and it aims to maintain its top position on the Asian market in the coming years.

- The Chinese and Asian markets represent a major part of the worldwide growth in paper and board production and consumption, says Franck Rettmeyer, Chairman & CEO of Allmand.

- The China Paper exhibition is primarily a global meeting point for all Chinese buyers, and this sole reason puts this event on the top priority list for our business activities in Asia. Increasingly, papermakers from other Asian countries are also attending the event, and we expect from this year’s show to create fruitful contacts with most of our established customers in the Asian area as well as with new ones, Mr Rettmeyer continues.

With the first event in 1987, China Paper/China Forest is today the premier event for China's and Asia's pulp, paper making and paper product industries.  Since the year 2000 the event alternates between Beijing and Shanghai. The 19th edition of China Paper/China Forest is held on September 19-21, 2011, at the China International Exhibition Center (CIEC) in Beijing. China Paper is organised by Adforum in co-operation with E.J. Krause & Associates, Inc.
