RISI's Top 50 Power List, Paper360º July/August 2018

Welcome to the 11th Top 50 Power List.For the first time, we feature an institution, rather than an individual, at the top of the list. There is no doubting the influence the Peoples’ Republic of China has had on the industry, dating back a couple of decades but intensifying recently, particularly with its ban on many grades of recovered paper.

When we look at our highest-ranked individual, the mega-merger of Fibria and Suzano certainly casts the spotlight upon Walter Schalka. For good reason he has been chosen RISI’s Latin American CEO of the Year four years running. International Paper has also garnered its share of headlines with its hostile bid for Smurfit Kappa. As of June 6, the bid has been withdrawn—but is this the end of the story, or just the prequel to another summer block-buster next year?
