The SPA effectively provides a forum for the owners and managers of Corrugated Sheet Plants and their associated suppliers can meet and discuss matters of common interest.

It is also heavily involved in matters affecting the corrugated packaging industry as well as the specific sheet plant sector, promotes the sector to potential new customers, as well as encouraging best practice amongst members.

Training, relating to industry specific skills, knowledge, and personal development for the employees of member companies is also a key objective, as is the promoting of co-operative working between member companies.
