A good reference point is my last paper presented at the Insight Conference in Minneapolis on October 10, 2005. This paper explains the price war cycles and talks about the future of the diaper industry over the next 25 years. There are two versions of the paper – a Word document and the PowerPoint presentation. You can download a copy of these files here: Word version, PowerPoint version (it may take a few minutes to load). Another excellent article about the future of the absorbent core can be found here: Insight 2006. You can also read Mr. Richer’s latest article published in the Nonwoven Industry Magazine in January 2007 using this link: click here. Carlos Richer has been invited to be a guest speaker at the São Paulo Textile show in Brazil on February 28, 2007. He will also attend the IDEA show in Miami in April 2007. You can catch him there; he is always happy to answer your questions about the diaper industry.
