Fastmarkets Forest Products Europe Conference 2025: Navigating market challenges and innovations in pulp, paper & packaging

More than 300 industry professionals from over 30 countries will convene at Fastmarkets Forest Products Europe Conference 2025 to discuss the evolving role of pulp, paper, and packaging in both European and global supply chains. At this leading event, key professionals in the forest products sector will engage in an in-depth exploration of market trends, sustainability challenges, regulatory changes, and technological advancements that are reshaping the industry.

The European pulp, paper, and packaging industry did not recover as expected in 2024, despite a decrease in fiber costs. High input costs and weak demand persist. Many producers continue to reduce operations or close facilities. Against this dynamic backdrop, Fastmarkets, a leading price-reporting agency (PRA) that is renowned for its cross-commodity market analysis and price data, will deliver an expert-led agenda at its Forest Products Europe Conference, which kicks off on March 3 at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel in Lisbon.

The conference will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions led by prominent figures in the industry, including Paula Lehtomäki, Director General of Finnish Forest Industries and former Minister of the Environment and Climate Change for Finland; António Redondo, CEO of The Navigator Company; Fabio Almeida de Oliveira, Executive VP at Suzano; Sarah Price, Director of Sustainability at Sappi Europe; and José Soares de Pina, CEO of Altri; and many others.

With participation from over 150 companies and more than 45 speakers, Fastmarkets Forest Products Europe Conference will offer essential market insights, strategies for building resilient supply chains and updates on sustainable packaging initiatives. Attendees can look forward to three days of thought-provoking content across two stages, complemented by more than 8 hours of networking opportunities.

The event will feature an exclusive pre-event workshop on March 3—a deep dive into key regulations like the upcoming PPWR and EUDR. The workshop is designed for professionals across the forest products supply chain seeking to gain hands-on insights into navigating these complex regulations.

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to explore The Navigator Company’s Setúbal Mill, a leader in European pulp and paper manufacturing, with a guided tour showcasing cutting-edge production methods and sustainability practices.

Join us in Lisbon to engage with industry leaders, gain cutting-edge insights, and build the future of the forest products sector.
