Having been pushed off that argument, he comes to an entirely different point and says that paper manufacturers will not buy our machinery because we have not been buying their paper. Gentleman's account of the attitude of the Canadian paper manufacturers is correct. I am sure that they realise, as those whom I met last year in Canada realised, that our inability to buy more from them is the result of our dollar situation, and that the more we can do to increase our exports to Canada, the more we shall be able to buy from them. That has already been seen in the results of our increased purchases of certain Canadian products in the past few weeks. Really, I do not think that suggestions of that kind will help us forward at all.
A well-informed Great Britain is essential to the Commonwealth, if the Commonwealth expects Great Britain to remain the corner stone of the Commonwealth. A well-informed Commonwealth is essential to Great Britain if Great Britain wishes to see the unity of the Commonwealth maintained. In the rural areas they are to a considerable extent the only newspapers which are read.
Newspapers still have enormous authority that very few online news site sites have been able to build. National titles give the best possible UK-wide news and sports coverage, coupled with myriad quality features, and still have large and widespread national reach. For instance, it was undoubtedly national print media that set the agenda for the Brexit debate. The effects of COVID-19 were immediately seen following the commencement of lockdown in late March.
In the early 1960s, faced with a downward spiral in sales and the loss of advertising revenue, the TUC relinquished their shares in the newspaper. An estimated 200,000 people travelled from far and wide, some arriving on special trains organised for the event. It was a marketing extravaganza, with plans for a Sunday edition announced and the drive towards 2 million sales launched. Recruiting readership was an ongoing concern for Odhams’ busy publicity department. Despite condemnation from the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association, gift schemes, competitions and promotional campaigns became important tools for building the Herald’s loyal following. Gifts such as fountain pens and cameras were offered, as well as a free £10,000 family insurance policy for registered readers.
Arctic Paper currently owns and operates three paper mills, shown in Exhibit 9. Arctic Paper is currently primarily exposed to the paper and pulp markets, which are highly commoditised and undoubtedly face large price fluctuations. According to Statista the European pulp and paper industry generated revenue of €95bn in 2021, which implies Arctic Paper has a c 1% market share, based on its FY21 revenue. This is likely due to the oligopolistic nature of the European paper and pulp market, dominated by the larger players such as UPM. Wood pulp is a critical global commodity within the paper industry, with a constant presence in global trade flows, as a result of its primary role in manufacturing numerous paper grades; Arctic Paper produced an average of 394kt of pulp annually, over the last three years.
The HMI via touch panel functions language independent and enables intuitive operating. If required, errors can be diagnosed remotely from Waldbrunn due to the full network capability of the machine. Numerous options allow automatic adjustments to versatile customer requirements. When necessary, strapping programs independently select formulas according to predefined events that can be activated by external interfaces, sensor signals or QR codes. Operation is further simplified by a detailed error display with troubleshooting support. Diagnostics can be handled via online remote maintenance direct from the German Mosca headquarter.
The Daily Herald Photographic Archive is still housed within its original filing system and acts as a continuing record of the newspaper’s idiosyncratic editorial perspective on 20th-century history. These images also reveal the behind-the-scenes processes and people instrumental to producing and maintaining such an archive. "I think this could be the rebirth of the local newspaper if we work out how to help the new business models thrive in the long run, not prop up the old ones."
I feel we should examine the possibility of using the residual fibre of sugar cane, which is technically known as bagasse. We must take the ordinary families of this country with us in the action which we are taking. We can only do that if we are fully informed in the way which Members on both sides of the House have described this afternoon. The reason that it has not proved posible, or that it proved possible only for a very brief time, and then at the expense of our stocks, is to be found in the definite decisions and actions taken by the Government. We do not expect to be able to get more than about 10,000 tons because the decision was taken too late. That letter which I have just quoted also indicates that the freedom—the so-called freedom—that was given to the newspapers to fix the number of their pages within broad limits, as the right hon.
The other management board member is Katarzyna Wojtkowiak, who replaced Göran Eklund at the end of May 2023 following the news of his retirement. She is another well qualified business expert and has been chief accountant and group treasurer at Arctic Paper for over 11 years. She is well positioned to continue Göran’s strong efforts in maintaining the positive trajectory of the company.
I believe that in reinforcing the plea for the provincial and local papers, I am doing the right thing. Overseas
The mill would provide an additional source of newsprint for the UK newspaper industry which, while buying material from the three existing UK newsprint mills, still uses large volumes of newsprint from overseas. The UK newspaper industry currently uses about 2.3 million tonnes of newsprint a year with less than half of this manufactured domestically. Malin Hay writes about the ‘longest strike in the history of the Finnish paper industry’ (LRB, 24 March). In the early 20th century, Finland was the chief paper supplier for periodicals across the Russian empire. Leading newspapers as far away as Odessa relied on shipments of high-quality Finnish paper for their daily printing.
The biggest print titles in the US continue to shed circulation in 2023. We are pleased to announce our latest partnership to increase vape collection and recycling across t... In real terms, the firm was making an operating loss of nearly £20m in 2012, which grew by another £12m a year later.
The spending should be financed by the strong balance sheet (Q123 net cash of PLN290m), the cash-generative business model and an intention to optimise the balance sheet, implying higher levels of debt. Potters development of machine printing of wallpaper occurred at a time of change, not only was machine printing of paper advancing apace, but the removal of stainers duty and the allowance by excise authorities of the use of continuous rolls of paper provided a huge fillip. Cheaper machine made paper and the vast increase in production levels opened a new market and prices dropped dramatically. The patent that protected machine printing allowed Potters a lead, but competition was closely behind them and for a while arguably overtook them.
By May 1862 they were manufacturers, noted as being 'all block-printing and piece work', but with expansion in mind in June they were moving premises 'where we shall have machinery'. This was to be the start of their successful venture into machine printing. They exhibited in the London based International Exhibition of 1862, they also won medals in exhibitions in Australia in the 1880's, becoming one of the 'big four' wallpaper suppliers of the later nineteenth century.
Members and, indeed, in the Newsprint Rationing Committee, too, for them. I deeply regret the cut in newsprint since the beginning of the war, in particular because of the effect it has had upon our young writers. The great essayists of the past spent their apprenticeship and learned their trade on the newspapers—men like Chesterton, Belloc and A. G. Gardiner; one can go further back to Thackeray, Dickens and the like. Nowadays, there is very little opportunity for the brilliant young man wishing to acquire a mastership of language and of his trade. He may write something absolutely brilliant, only to find that the sub-editor has ruthlessly put a blue pencil through it and the whole of his work has been reduced to a sentence or two.
The fall is partially attributed to the temporary closure of pulp mills in addition to large-scale strikes (UPM); output of mechanical pulp decreased by c 5%, the segment in which Arctic Paper produces its groundwood pulp and CTMP. Volumes in the chemical pulp category, specifically NBSK, which makes up a large percentage of Arctic’s pulp revenue, was estimated to have fallen to a lesser extent of c 3%. Most of this is utilised within the European paper industry where it is an essential raw material, particularly for packaging and newsprint. Recycling paper is the most eco-efficient waste management option and the use of recycled fibre complements the need for virgin wood fibre to meet societal demands for paper and board products. Last year, as people returned to the office and the demand for paper rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels, a slimmed-down paper industry was able to raise prices for the first time in years.
Finally, the fibre reaches a paper machine made by Finland-based paper technology firm Valmet where water is removed and the pulp is squeezed between rollers. At the end of the process, the paper is pressed between two stainless steel rollers which give it a smooth surface for printing. It is then passed through a sensor and then cut into appropriate widths, wrapped and dispatched in large rolls.
