PaperExchange Announces Partnership With Paperloop

Posted on March 14, 2001

PaperExchange, an business solutions provider for the pulp and paper industry, announced a strategic alliance with paperloop, an information and ebusiness network for the paper, printing and converting industries. Under the terms of the partnership, paperloop will provide PaperExchange customers with scrolling industry headlines, news and information.

Although industry headlines have always been featured as part of the PaperExchange website, the company can now link to paperloop to provide customers with additional news resources. These resources feature more than 80 leading industry publications - including Pulp & Paper Week, Pulp & Paper Magazine, Pulp & Paper International, PPI Asia News, and Pulp & Paper Forecaster - and pulp and paper trade shows and conferences.

According to Bob Brenner, Chief Executive Officer at PaperExchange, paperloop's information resources provide significant value to PaperExchange and its members. ``Whether buying or selling pulp and paper through our exchange or utilizing one of our selling, procurement or supply chain solutions, our customers rely on industry information as part of their decision-making process and daily business operations,'' he said. ``We feel that paperloop's premier news resources will provide our customers with the best possible information.''

``We are delighted to partner with PaperExchange,'' said Tim Fazio, president and CEO of paperloop. ``This relationship will give us the unique opportunity to offer our industry-leading information and business tools to a broader audience.''
