New vice president is Jan Klingele from Klingele Papierwerke in Germany. Bob McLellan will serve another two year term as a second vice president for FEFCO.

The new leaders are determined to continue the positive role FEFCO plays on behalf of the Corrugated industry. “FEFCO must continue to be the European Voice for Corrugated and promote the unique benefit Corrugated Board offers to its Customers. No other packaging material offers such a high recycling rate as Corrugated Board, it is the economic choice and offers perfect protection for goods. These advantages make the difference; and this message needs to be spread all over Europe”, says Roberto.

Roberto has been with Smurfit since 1987 and became CEO of the SmufitKappa division in 2005. His term as FEFCO President will last two years, he is re-eligible once.
