Bostik, in partnership with, Hanwei Manufacturing, Loparex and Nordson, hosted the symposium on Saturday, June 4th. The one-day event focused on sharing disposable hygiene market knowledge and experience with Indian disposable hygiene producers.

“In our experience, most disposable hygiene producers value the ability of their suppliers to share knowledge and expertise that they can use to help them achieve their business goals. Bostik’ Smart Summit is one way we are present in the local market to help our customers get better results,” said Diane Toonen, Bostik’s Global Strategic Director of Marketing for the Disposable Hygiene segment.
