History

In 1992 CEPI was founded by a merger of CEPAC (Confédération Européenne de l’Industrie des pates, papiers et cartons) and EPI (European Paper Institute). At that time CEPI had 15 member organisations.

List of chairmen:

In 1997 the Czech Pulp and Paper Association SPPAC became associate member of CEPI and in 1999 the Slovakian association followed. Hungary joined in 2001 and Poland not until 2003. In 2004 all four associate members became regular members, at the same time when their countries officially joined the European Union. In 2006 the Danish and Irish associations ceased to be members of CEPI. Slovenia joined CEPI in January 2010. Switzerland ceased to be a member in 2012 which brings the number of members to 18.
