The Association of Suppliers to the Paper Industry

ASPI is the only association solely focused on providing membership benefits to companies supplying the global pulp and paper industry. We feel that, as suppliers, our member companies can make a genuine contribution to their customer’s success, and by extension, to the health and sustainability of this important industry. All ASPI activity follows strict Antitrust guidelines and operates accordingly to our By-Laws.

The global pulp and paper industry is one of the largest industries in the world, with total production approaching 400 million tons per year. In North America, it is a very mature industry that remains under intense financial pressure due to its capital intensity, consolidation, globalization, and the commoditization of its products. Over the last ten years, the industry often has not earned its cost of capital. This financial pressure has created an atmosphere of great risk, but also great opportunity, for producers as well as industry suppliers.
