In opening the 13th edition of Outlook, the world-leading conference for the nonwovens personal care industry, Pierre Wiertz, general manager of EDANA reminded delegates that there was a close relationship between many of the conference themes, and EDANA’s daily mission to support growth and promote the sustainable development of the industry. Outlook was held last week in Barcelona, Spain.
“While our industries continue to face challenges, be it those raised by the relative uncertainty of the current global economy or geo-political situations or the demands from the end consumer, our industry will address these – as you do with other challenges – with a recognition of the indispensible role your products play in our lives every day, and the social benefits they deliver.," says Wiertz.
“With the changing demands from the consumer, from developing markets and evolving requirements along the supply chain, both the Association’s coordinated program of work, and the continual investment and development by companies are essential to the sustainable and profitable growth of individual companies and the industries we serve," continues Wiertz.
With more than 420 delegates from across the nonwovens and related industries, Outlook was again confirmed as the must-attend event of the year for the personal care and hygiene products industries.
Feedback from participants throughout the event underlined the satisfaction with the many opportunities to meet with the industry and the mix and quality of papers. With opportunities engineered for delegates to focus both on the conference proceeding and to enjoy relaxed networking, attracting the whole supply chain of the absorbent hygiene products and wipes industry from across the globe, Outlook, the only one of its kind in Europe, is one of the “must-attend” events each year.
With Outloo™ having already expanded into Asia, with its second edition planned November 2014, and the first edition of Outlook Plus Latin America in Sao Paulo, Brazil in March 2015, the nonwoven personal care and hygiene industries (and a broader industry focus in Brazil), regardless of location, have the support of a world-leading event to both meet and get informed about those topics and issues essential to its development.
The next edition of Outlook will take place in Athens, Greece, from the Sept. 23-25. More information: www.edana.org.
