EPV 65 years

On Friday 27 November, the symposium "The power of wood" of the Dutch Packaging and Pallet Industry Association (EPV) was held in Deventer. During this symposium, the 65th anniversary of EPV was celebrated and Peter Rikken took his leave after 8 years as chairman.

Four prominent speakers, namely Loek Hermans, chairman of Platform Hout Nederland, Sylvo Thijsen, CEO of Staatsbosbeheer, Sylvia Borren, director of Greenpeace and Marc Michielsen, chairman of CEI-Bois, each touched on his or her own vision of the theme "The power of wood".

After the fascinating speeches of these coryphées, a lustrum book was presented and a toast was made to the EPV at the Italian classic car specialist Bella Macchina. The evening ended with a dinner for the members in the Zwarte Silo in the port area of Deventer.
