EVENTS


INDUSTRY NEWS PulPaper pulls them in S


imultaneous events serving the forest and packing industries were held in the Messukeskus, Helsinki, from 29-31 May. The event showed that the industry is looking into the future and that companies are evolving in the digitalising world with sustain- ability as a top priority. During the three days of the show, the forest industry’s PulPaper, the packing industry’s PacTec and the new Wood & Bioenergy and their smaller events were visited by more than 9,200 visitors. The event attracted almost


500 companies ranging from for- est industry giants to small start-up businesses. The stands and the programming highlighted the


potential of the circular economy, new materials, innovative packing methods and IoT, artificial intel- ligence and augmented reality. Finland is a leader in the forest industry, constantly developing new wood-based products in addition to the traditional paper


and pulp industry. The theme of the event, ‘Visit tomorrow today’, referred to new innovations and technologies that the forest indus- try can harness to evolve in the digitalising world.


The simultaneous events were accompanied for the first time


by the Wood & Bioenergy event, which was well received by the industry.


Hannu Voutilainen, Managing Director of Suomen Linkki Sawmill Machinery Ltd, stated: “When the entire field is brought together, it offers added value to everyone and we also received visitors from our neighbouring countries. All in all, the visitors were very distin- guished and the fair was visited by key personnel like CEOs and production managers. Our stand was also visited by many Russian visitors”.


The next PulPaper will take place at the Messukeskus in 2022. More information from www.pulpaper.fi
