On June 28th at 11:00 Eastern Time, NOREXECO, the world’s only international regulated market for trading pulp and paper derivatives, will fully explain the current state and outlook of the pulp markets in North America.

  • NOREXECO’s portfolio manager, Carl Tonsberg will explain how to leverage NOREXECO’s expertise and the process to ensure compliance required by both companies and regulators

  • NOREXECO’s North American consultant, Myles Cohen, will be the host and the moderator for the Webinar.
