elcome to the September issue of Pulp, Paper & Logistics. As the year progresses it is pleasing to see an increase in the number of industry professionals who want to receive the magazine.
That total around the world is now more than 11,500
and continues to grow. What’s so remarkable is that this has happened through word of mouth, from readers like yourself. That is by far the best recommendation and proves the value of Pulp, Paper & Logistics to the industry it serves. So a big thankyou to all who have passed on the message. Looking ahead to next month we have MIAC show in Lucca,
Italy, to look forward to (10, 11 & 12 October). MIAC is one of those shows that is always worth a visit because all key companies in the paper industry sector are there to show their products and machinery. Furthermore, during MIAC many exhibitors also use the opportunity to take both their customers and potential customers to their facilities in and around Lucca to offer a better understanding of the full scope of what they have to offer. I look forward to seeing you there. MIAC is now in its 19th year and is supported by a number
of useful technical sessions. To find out more go to http://www.
miac.info/eng/mostra.htm In the November issue we will take a look at the following
subjects, so if you have any news for consideration ensure it arrives at the magazine no later than 26 October. Features will include: What was new at MIAC?; logistics & handling update including vehicles, AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and specialist forklift attachments; tissue production & processing; and quality control (machinery, equipment & specialist items). Also in our November issue will be some important news
about a forthcoming innovation competition so make sure you keep in touch.
