GREEN BAY, Wis. — August 28, 2024 — Over the past 20 years, there has been growing interest by the Central and South American tissue market to elevate the manufacturing process along with the performance and aesthetics of the finished product. This movement is so pronounced that it has enticed the major multinationals in the industry to set up their production sites in this part of the world. Tissue Summit Latin America in Panama City on September 4 and 5 will provide an opportunity for further advancement and partnership.
BW Converting will once again drive thought leadership at this edition of Tissue Summit, where Giacomo Bianchi, Senior Sales Executive and Product Innovation Leader, will present a new innovative tool for the field of embossing at 10:40 am on September 5 in a session titled: “Thinking of the life cycle in embossing, from idea to product: our 4 steps towards a sustainable future.”
