American Forest & Paper Association Releases June 2017 Boxboard Report

Our donation of $50,000 to Vancouver Island University has supported 19 student awards in the past two years. “Awards are great incentive for students to focus on their learning and when received instill a sense of pride as they meet their goals,” says Brad Jannaway, Instructor and Department Chair of HMT in Trades and applied Technologies “From a practical standpoint, the award will likely come at a time they really need it and can help them move into their chosen careers.” Created with the $50,000 donation, the Paper Excellence Award Fund gives students who did well in the program a financial boost as this graduate. Congratulations to the 19 students who received these $1,000 awards in 2022 and 2023. The 2024 recipient selections will take place between April and August.

Solenis, a leading global producer of specialty chemicals, will increase prices across all product lines in North America and Latin America by 10 to 25 percent, effective April 1, 2022, or as customer contracts allow. These price increases are necessary because of increased costs for raw materials, energy, transportation, and packaging. These increases will allow Solenis to continue to provide value-added solutions to customers.
