SPA 62nd Conference

SPA meets at Stratford
Members of the UK’s Sheet Plant Association have been given an exclusive update on the new regulations relating to both Packaging Waste and Control of Noise at Work, just two of the topics covered at the recent SPA Conference. Held at the Stratford Manor Hotel on March 6th and 7th 2006, the conference, which preceded the SPA Annual General Meeting, also gave members an opportunity to catch up on the latest developments in machinery and services.
Opening the meeting, Chairman Mr Graham Sutherland welcomed delegates representing sheet plants and sheet feeders, as well as machinery and service providers. Among the guests attending the conference was Mr Neil Whipp, representing both Pro Carton, (the European Association of Carton Manufacturers and Cartonboard Mills) and BPIF Carton, the latter being a special interest group within the British Printing Industries Federation. He told the delegates, ‘We feel that we share a great deal of common ground. Many of the problems facing the folding carton industry are the same as those confronting the corrugated board industry, and we are keen to find ways of working together.’
