„The Corrugated Board Austria Award is the annual showcase of our industry and this year once again demonstrates how versatile corrugated board can be: As an imaginative toy for children, an attractive display in the supermarket or customised mono-material packaging for overseas transport. Nobody can predict what the next few months will bring. But one thing is clear: corrugated board can look forward to a sustainable future. Because our product is the circular product par excellence!“
Stephan Kaar, Spokesman for Forum Wellpappe Austria
