Corrugators Speak Off-the-Record at SuperCorr

摘要

The overall tone of the AICC/TAPPI SuperCorrExpo was one of restrained happiness. The industry has done well, but not as well as was hoped. The potential for new markets, as well as new technology and equipment to move the corrugated box to a new level, has brought a level of interest to this industry that is well overdue. However, at the operating level, the men and women who run the boxplants had their own views—mosdy off the record. The majority of the people interviewed work in boxplants, and their main concerns were for the rising energy and technology costs, difficulties in meeting customer demands and the onslaught of competition.
