Nearly 12,000 attendees and more than 300 exhibiting companies converged on the LenExpo Fairgrounds in St. Petersburg, Russia for PAP-FOR Russia 2006. Then in its 9th presentation, PAP-FOR Russia 2006 nearly doubled in size since 2004, making it the largest and longest running paper show in Russia and the CIS.
The 2006 event featured many highlights including the State-of-the-Art Conference, which focused on bio-energy and the Kyoto protocol, the environment and new technologies. New in 2006 was a German-Russian workshop, which was organized by the German Ministry for Environmental Protection and addressed an integrated approach to the prevention and reduction of environmental pollution by the pulp & paper mills. But the major buzz surrounding PAP-FOR 2006 was the crowds on the exhibition floor, which showcased more than 300 Russian and international companies in two halls spanning well over 10,000 square meters; an atmosphere exhibitors found quite pleasing.
