Dear ipw reader,

we just finished our December issue of ipw with a focus on Japan (see image on right) which will be sent out together with our introductory issue of Biofibre Magazine (image on left, which you can click to read.)

Currently, we are working on our first issue of 2013, our Annual Outlook and Suppliers Directory.* We received so much interesting feedback from the leaders of our industry.  From around the world, they shared their view of the future with us. This issue is a must-read for anyone in the pulp and paper industry!

We would like to thank all of our readers for their interest and support over the past year. Our newsletter will resume on January 8th, 2013.

WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON & A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

Your ipw team
