Welcome to Pulp, Paper & Logistics magazine. As the title indicates, editorial within the magazine will feature the increasing importance of logistics and how raw materials delivered to and products are shipped from mills to customers both on time and in perfect condition. Product handling and movement are vital in achieving the best results for both the mill and the customer. This is in addition to core industry areas of machinery and equipment for all things production-related plus essentials such as chemicals and additives and mill maintenance and automation solutions. In addition to a focus on the development of paper and tissue making technologies, Pulp, Paper & Logistics will be highlighting the key supply side of forest product production, bio-energy and environmental issues.
A newly-researched international circulation and readership will be able to take advantage of the latest news and ideas in specifically-commissioned features in Pulp, Paper & Logistics. Distribution of the magazine at mills alone will number 8,860 (or 11,345 individuals who are mill managers, operations managers, mill owners, mill directors and technical directors) plus 3,139 highvolume paper merchants and 643 key associations.
Each bi-monthly issue will be available worldwide, both in print and online. We hope you enjoy this first issue and look forward to your comments in due course. In the second issue we will be covering the following subjects but would welcome any suggestions on areas you would like us to cover: Pumps, valves, bearings, gearboxes and drives; Handling & logistics update, Service & maintenance focus plus Advancements in Recycling & De-inking technology.
