Harry E. Gould, Jr., President of Gould Paper Corporation, New York City, announced the expansion of the Pulp Sales division of Price & Pierce.
Mr. Gould states, "Expanding this division into continental Europe is an integral component of our overall growth strategy With the expanded worldwide foot print provided by Gould and Japan Pulp and Paper, we have significantly increased our sources of supply throughout the world. With the stagnant commodity paper markets, further expansion into the pulp and chemical markets is a logical extension of our customary markets".
Mr. Bob Weill, President Gould International, announced the appointment of Gunter Drischel as Managing Director of the Price & Pierce Fibers and Chemicals Division.
Gunter is a graduate of the University of Cooperative Education in Dresden, Germany and the Graduate School of Business of the University of Chicago. He has spent his entire career in the European paper markets with such well known companies as the IGEPA Group and Botnia. Immediately prior to joining Price & Pierce, Gunter was the manager of the Fibers and Biomass business unit of Gratenau & Hesselbacher.
Mr. Weill, further stated that "Mr. Drischel is very experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of the pulp and raw materials markets on an international basis. We believe, with the addition of Mr. Drischel to our team, we will substantially enhance our position in both the European and international markets".
