UkrPapir, Association of Ukrainian Enterprises of Pulp and Paper Industry, turns to the world manufacturers of corrugated cardboard, packaging and equipment



Dear Colleagues! On February 24, 2022 at 4 am Moscow time, massive rocket and artillery strikes from the border regions of the Russian Federation and Belarus preceded a full-scale invasion in Ukraine. Endless columns of Russian land forces moved into the peaceful country from the north, south and east, captured and surrounded our cities.

A terrible war has begun, which the aggressor, trying to hide its scale, calls ‘a special military operation’.

Today, this war has been going on for more than two weeks. In addition to combat losses, from the first day of the war Ukrainian civilians have been massively killed as a result of deliberate attacks by Russian aviation, missile troops and artillery on residential areas, medical and government institutions, infrastructure facilities. Hospitals and maternity homes are also under attack.

Among other things, the aggressor is destroying enterprises of Ukrainian paper industry. Companies such as Dunapak-Tavria (Oleshki, Kherson region), MenaPak (Mena, Chernihiv region), Germes (Chernihiv), Gofropak (Akhtyrka, Sumy region), Kharkiv Corrugated Packaging Plant, Rubizhansky Cardboard and Container Plant (Lugansk region), PapirMal (Zhytomyr region) were damaged and stopped working. Some of our colleagues have died...

Ukrainian pulp and paper enterprises appeal to all world manufacturers of corrugated cardboard, packaging, equipment, consumables and technologies with a request to support Ukraine and help stop the war!
