Industry Top 50 Power List, Paper360º July/August 2019

Welcome to the 12th Top 50 Power List.O

Over the past few years, not only people, but events and issues, some of which fall outside traditional pulp and paper making, have had increasingly more influence over the industry. This year is no different.

From political topics—Brexit (again) and the US presidential election (despite being more than a year away)—to social media to trade to entertainment to other issues that affect the industry such as the paper straw, they all have a place on this year’s list. However, a person returns to the top of the list this year and it’s her second time as the most influential person in the industry. Nine Dragons’ Cheung Yan comes out as No. 1 in 2019, just as she did in 2017. It’s a family affair as her son Ken Liu, head of ND Paper, also makes a return appearance.

There are many other familiar names, but many newcomers as well. As we have said in the past, we enjoy putting together this eclectic annual collection. It is neither a scientific study nor a popularity contest. It is more a year’s worth of observation along with the opinions of many experienced analysts within the industry.
