Current industry trends

As you know, the forest and paper industry faces severe challenges especially in Europe and in North America; declining demand in printing papers, rising energy costs, regression after the dot-com boom and major shift of the pulp production moving into developing countries. The outcome has been seen as persistent profitability problems in a large number of the industry’s companies. This has forced companies to look for new ways to improve efficiency as well as develop new business models and ways of working.
