Paperloop named one of "25 Companies to Watch" by World Leaders In Print magazine

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14, 2004 - Paperloop, the leading information resource for the pulp, paper and converting marketplaces, has been selected as one of the "25 Companies to Watch" by World Leaders In Print, a supplement of Graphic Arts Monthly magazine.

The top 25 organizations were selected by World Leaders In Print based on a number of criteria, including "companies turning heads and making headlines." Paperloop was cited for providing "the most valuable information for and about the paper, pulp, forest, converting, and allied industries through the best channels for information exchange."

A relatively young company with a strong pedigree, Paperloop was created from the former Miller Freeman Pulp and Paper division in February 2000. The company leverages deep experience from dozens of well established, leading print and online industry publications as well as a number of conferences and trade shows. Among the company's well-known properties are the Pulp & Paper and Pulp & Paper International family of magazines and newsletters, RISI forecasting services, and CMM tradeshow events.

Paperloop shares this special distinction from Graphic Arts with such notable companies as Adobe Systems, A.B. Dick Company, Bowe Bell & Howell Company, Pamarco Global Graphics, and Roland DGA Corp.

"We are very honored to be recognized for our accomplishments and to share this distinction with such an impressive group of companies," said Ian Johnston, Paperloop's CEO. "The credit goes to all the Paperloop employees located in our six offices around the world."

Headquartered in San Francisco, Paperloop has offices throughout North America, in Europe and in Asia. Paperloop was founded in February 2000 and leverages deep experience from over 100 well established, leading print and online industry publications as well as conferences and trade shows.
