Ashland wins further ABTCP recognition

ABTCP held its 46th Pulp and Paper International Congress and Exhibition on October 8-10 at the Transamérica ExpoCenter in Sao Paulo. There were more than 6,000 attendees from many countries around the world who took part in the three-day convention.

In a survey of Brazilian pulp and paper companies, Ashland was recognized for its innovative products, technical support and problem-solving skills.

Ashland Water Technologies is a global producer of papermaking chemicals, and a specialty chemical supplier to the pulp, mining, food and beverage, paper, chemical processing, general manufacturing, institutional and municipal markets.

Ashland’s prize was presented at an awards dinner on October 9. This is the second consecutive year that Ashland has been honored as Best Chemical Supplier of the Year for the pulp and paper segment by ABTCP.

‘Ashland has been a leading supplier of specialty chemicals to the Brazilian pulp and paper industry for many years and we are delighted to receive this award from ABTCP,’ said Wanderley Flosi Filho, commercial director at Ashland Water Technologies, Latin America.
