UPM will participate as principal sponsor and strategic partner
Union Paper Mills (UPM), part of MAHY Khoory Group, will participate as the principal sponsor and strategic partner at ProPaper 2026, bringing its perspective on circular manufacturing, resource efficiency and the long-term development of the region’s paper and packaging industry.
Established in the UAE, UPM has built significant expertise in transforming recovered paper into recycled containerboard for the packaging industry. UPM forms part of the Group’s broader industrial platform, which includes paper and packaging manufacturing, waste management and environmental solutions, creating opportunities to connect resource recovery with local manufacturing.
“ProPaper provides an important platform to discuss the future of paper and packaging in our region. The long-term opportunity goes beyond growth in packaging demand; it is about building a stronger circular manufacturing ecosystem – recovering more material locally, converting it into value-added products here in the UAE, and strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of our regional supply chains,” said AbdelRhman Obaid, Group CEO, MAHY Khoory Group.
Organised by Verifair, ProPaper 2026 will take place from October 20 to 22. The regional B2B event spans paper, corrugation, paperboard, tissue and the converting industry, bringing together international and regional participants from across the industry value chain.
Demand for paper-based packaging continues to be supported by e-commerce growth, evolving consumer expectations and the transition towards more sustainable packaging solutions.
