Now that the storm caused by the global economic crisis is over, the pulp and paper sector in Brazil shows its strength and is already showing signs of growth. It is to discuss this scenario and present the trends that will permeate the sector in the next years that the Brazilian Pulp and Paper Technical Association (ABTCP) is holding the 43rd Pulp and Paper International Congress and Exhibition, in October, at the Transamérica ExpoCenter. According to a study conducted by the Brazilian Pulp and Paper Association (BRACELPA) production in the first two months of 2010 increased almost 10% compared to the same period the previous year. Between January and February, more than 3.8 thousand tons of pulp and paper were produced in the country, of which 40% of this total was exported.

As the most prestigious and representative event of the sector in Latin America, ABTCP’s Congress and Exhibition in 2010 will be held in conjunction with TAPPI, the sister entity in the United States that joins pulp and paper makers from around the world, as well as processing and packaging industries.
