In the autumn of 2012 our former Chinese sales associate since several years back, China National Pulp and Paper Research Institute (CNPPRI), launched a competing show scheduled just a few weeks after China Paper/China Forest 2013.

Two similar trade shows that close to each other would not be beneficial for neither exhibitors, visitors nor the industry as a whole. The organizers of China Paper/China Forest have therefore tried to negotiate a resolution with CNPPRI involving a merge of the two shows into one strong meeting place. Negotiation efforts have not been successful. Adforum/EJK have therefore decided to discontinue the arrangements of China Paper/China Forest 2013 in Beijing.

China Paper/China Forest has successfully served the needs of the industry since 1987, with exceedingly positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors alike. Adforum/EJK now invite Chinese and International exhibitors, visitors and industry professionals to the 21^st edition of China Paper in Shanghai, September 15-17, 2014. Like previous editions, the show is taking place at INTEX, Shanghai, featuring a highest quality international exhibition and conference.

The last China Paper Shanghai in 2012 proved once again the excellent reputation and track record of the event with visitor figures up 11% from the year before. More than 7300 highly qualified attendees and buyers from across China and 52 other countries could enjoy an exhibition of almost 400 companies.
