Comment Print

Ladies and gentlemen, since its founding in 1992, the Paper International Hall of Fame in Appleton, Wisconsin has honored and recognized 135 giants in the paper industry from around the world whose accomplishments have truly revolutionized civilization.

Here on PaperMoney, we've devoted some time in this space profiling inductees in the Hall, and we'd like to use the space this time to recognize the four who will be inducted in just a few short weeks.

The class that will be enshrined on Oct. 4 includes:

Richard Kerekes - Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Kerekes was selected for his Academic and Research and Development accomplishments within the paper industry.

Luigi Lazzareschi - CEO and co-owner of Sofidel in Lucca, Italy. Lazzareschi was selected for his Entrepreneur and Leadership skills within a niche market that has shown tremendous growth.

Heikki Peltola - Senior Vice President, retired of UPM-Kymmene Corporation, Helsinki, Finland. Peltola was selected for his Technology skills in the paper field.

Liisa Viikaria - Professor Emeriti, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. Viikari was selected for her Academic and Research and Development skills, especially for her efforts to transfer results of her research to paper mill operations.

Lazzareschi is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Hall of Fame banquet.

The induction banquet is Oct. 4 at the Red Lion Paper Valley Hotel. To register, click here.

Steve Roush is Vice President, Publisher and Editor of Paperitalo Publications.
