"We experienced CISCE's powerful resource integration and global communication capabilities during our participation last year," said Zhai Jingli, deputy CEO of APP China.

At the 2024 expo, APP China showcased its full industrial chain, from papermaking machinery to pulp and paper, offering supply chain solutions to support the high-quality development of China's papermaking industry.

"We strongly support CISCE's vision of promoting the stable development of global industrial and supply chains for win-win results," said Zhai. "By joining the expo again, we reaffirm our commitment to strengthening, stabilizing and expanding supply chains."

APP China's vertically integrated pulp and paper production has helped stabilize its supply chain amid global uncertainties.

"From forest cultivation to pulping, papermaking and even manufacturing papermaking equipment, we have developed a complete industrial chain that ensures stable supply and raw material quality control, while reducing costs and increasing efficiency. This achieves sustainable development from source to end," Zhai said.

Looking ahead, the company said it plans to use the expo to expand its trade network and collaborate with global partners to promote a green, efficient and sustainable industrial ecosystem.

The third China International Supply Chain Expo will take place in Beijing from July 16 to 20, focusing on supply chains in advanced manufacturing, clean energy and other sectors.
