About The Paper Industry Technical Association

 

The Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) is an independent, professionally managed organisation and produces the journal Paper Technology. It provides a forum for the exchange of information and technology to the benefit of its members in the pulp, paper, converting and allied trades.
