Executive search for the paper and packaging industry
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in the paper and packaging industry. A personal direct approach in a market where people know each other.

Sustainability, energy and consolidation
The paper and packaging industry is energy-intensive and at the centre of the debate on the circular economy. New European packaging rules, the shift from plastic to fibre-based solutions and volatile energy and raw material prices are changing the markets.
Many companies are mid-sized and family-owned, while the industry is consolidating. The brief is for executives who run plants economically, take responsibility for investments in new processes and guide customers through the change.
