RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry, today announced the opening of a new office in Helsinki, Finland. The office will serve as an information base for RISI-s Nordic clients as well as complement RISI-s suite of global forest industry information products.

Matt Graves, VP of International Sales said "Finland has one of the strongest forest clusters in the world: many of the decisions that shape the global industry are made in Helsinki and in the surrounding Nordic region - RISI wants to be close to our valued clients in the region, supporting them with our market intelligence and information services. More than this, some of the world-s best forest industry brains are located in or near to Finland and RISI is seeking to take advantage of this by creating a center of analytical excellence here in Helsinki, by drawing on that expertise."

RISI produces a wide range of news and analytical products covering European markets. These include the PPI Europe Newsletter, which provides industry news and prices; forecast services for both European Graphic Papers and Paper Packaging; and detailed mill cost benchmarking studies.
