Asia Pulp & Paper Under Fire
Asia Pulp & Paper has been under scrutiny concerning alleged unfair subsidies and environmental issues. It is the goal of Print Buyers Online.com to provide some information on these issues as it has potentially a very large impact on print buyers regarding sourcing and the potential cost and availability of both North American and Asian/Indodesian papers. PBO is attempting to provide balanced coverage and offer information from both sides. We hope that you'll investigate these issues, talk to your print and paper suppliers, and come to your own conclusions. Please see the following related articles:

Print Buyers Online.com Highly Recommends Dick Gorelick, Consultant:

 

As evidence mounts that economic conditions may have bottomed out and are improving, albeit slowly, members of the print community are like soldiers starting to rise from their foxholes to assess the landscape. What’s changed? Do the threats still exist? One thing is certain: major changes have occurred, some obvious and some subtle. Print companies must adapt to those changes in a manner that fulfills the objectives and perceptions of clients. That requires a customized review of non-production operations: sales, customer service, business development, and management.
