I attended, for the third time as the representative of Pinja, the annual China International Paper Technology Exhibition (CIPTE), which was organised between 13 and 15 September 2017 in Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. CIPTE is the largest paper and pulp technology event in Asia attracting annually a great number of exhibitors and visitors from all over the world.

The change taking place in the Asian timber industry was detectable at this year’s CIPTE exhibition. The global demand for paper and timber industry products in Asia has strongly increased compared to the Western countries, for example. The market is being transformed, among other things, by the pressure from development of environment-friendlier production methods. The changing face of the market was visible at the exhibition through the turnover of companies presenting their products. As the state of competition changes, it seems that many companies need to renew their production methods and automation solutions and build complete new production lines.

Customers visiting Pinja’s stand were interested in e.g. data collection from production.

 

In addition to total automation deliveries, attention of customers visiting Pinja’s stand was focused on post-processing solutions, data collection from production, and solutions for electrical energy production and management. The fair left behind a positive image strengthening the conviction that we will be able to offer competitive alternatives for improving production efficiency to the customers of this market.
