Paper & Pulp
Overseas imports traditionally played a very small role in the North American cartonboard markets, and imports were largely limited to trade between the U.S. and Canada. However, that began to change during the last two years, and overseas imports averaged roughly 300,000 tons in 2004 and 2005. Several factors indicate that this may have been just the tip of the iceberg and that overseas imports are set to escalate sharply during the next two years. This trend, together with the continued over capacity and increasing number of mergers and acquisitions in the industry, causes paper companies to look at new ways to improve efficiency.
