Paper expo to boost quality

A pulp and paper exhibition, to be held in HCM City next May, is expected to improve product quality in the country by enabling local manufacturers to find partners, according to the Minh Vi Exhibition and Advertisment Services Co (VEAS).

 

At least 100 domestic and foreign companies would participate in the three-day event, bringing together officials from companies involved in advanced technologies, machinery, and chemicals used in the industry, as well as pulp and paper products.

Vu Ngoc Bao, vice chairman of the Viet Nam Pulp and Paper Association, said the country's consumption of paper products this year was about 3 million tonnes, of which almost half were imported.

VEAS will also organise two other exhibitions, for the rubber and tyres and coating industries, alongside co-operation with partners in Viet Nam, China, and India.
