The benefits of attending a meeting goes beyond the knowledge and experience that you will bring back to your mill or business, it is about building relationships with other mills and gaining valuable experience from the trials of others. Raw materials are a major expense in paper making and a major process area where new-found efficiency can make an immediate impact on profits. Come and discuss your ideas, problems and success stories with people facing the same daily obstacles.
