"This will be a unique opportunity for visitors to SinoCorrugated from both China and abroad to explore and understand issues directly concerning modern box plants in developing countries and ways to improve them," said TAPPI's Corrugated Division Manager Kristi Ledbetter.

"SinoCorrugated is a leading exhibition for the corrugated industry, and we welcome this collaboration with TAPPI to bridge and forge business opportunities globally,"said Josephine Lee, vice president of Reed Exhibitions East China.
