CEPI announces a partnership with Valmet

Apr 30, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. The Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) announces a new partnership with Valmet. The new status will deepen an established good relationship, to include areas of common interest, as CEPI says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

More specifically, Valmet will gain a clear and in-depth insight of the issues the pulp and paper industry is facing, with the opportunity to be part of CEPI’s activities with its stakeholders. CEPI will gain knowledge and expertise, building on its ever-strong eco-system around industry suppliers with the ultimate goal of strenghtening its innovation agenda.

“Valmet and CEPI have a lot to gain from this partnership. It is a priviledge to collaborate with such a highly-valued industry supplier and we are very excited to see where this partnership will lead us,” says Marco Mensink, CEPI’s Director General.

This is the second new partnership for CEPI in 2015, with Pöyry having joined the programme in March. The partnership programme, launched in 2011, currently includes Buckman, Pöyry, Omya, Valmet and Voith. It is open to machine and chemical suppliers active in the pulp, paper or board industry with a direct link to paper manufacturing.

Valmet Corporation is the leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
