The world's leading event series on tissue, takes place for the first time in South America next month. From 20th - 22nd May, delegates will gather in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at the Transamerica Expo Centre, to network and to listen to a line-up of outstanding international speakers, including:

Holding this event in San Paulo is and inspired choice. Brazil is the largest tissue producing country in Latin America, making up 32% (1.274 million metric tonnes) of the 3.978 million metric tonne market. It experienced a significant spike in growth starting late 2007 to early 2008, and continued to grow even with global recessionary headwinds, although this growth trend appears to be levelling out over the past year.

Increasingly important and growing are Colombia, Chile and Peru, which together represent 18% of the market (Source: Fisher Solve, Fisher International).

Tissue World Sao Paulo 2015 will delve into the growing and diversified tissue markets of Brazil and South America, with a particular focus on Colombia, Chile and Peru. The whole industry will be covered, from pulp production where Brazil is particularly strong, to distribution and retail channels. Tissue World Sao Paulo will therefore offer the ideal platform for companies and individuals within the tissue industry to source knowledge and business opportunities in the whole South America and beyond.

The conference will bring together leading national and international tissue industry speakers with tissue makers, converters and suppliers, allowing delegates to share knowledge, network, discuss and lead the way forward for these regions' growing tissue industry. Conference topics will cover various aspects of the tissue business ranging from tissue making, converting to sustainability, retail distribution and consumer trends.
