Our core belief remains steadfast: Unity is our strength. In today's competitive and ever-evolving business environment, coming together is not just a necessity, but a strategic advantage. Together, we can face the complex challenges of the corrugation industry - from rising input costs and regulatory hurdles to the demand for sustainability and technological advancement.

I am delighted to note the steady and growing membership of SICBMA. This increasing participation reflects the faith the industry places in our vision and services. It is also a call to action for the young generation of entrepreneurs and professionals: your energy, innovation, and vision are critical to our future. I warmly invite you to step forward, get involved, and take guidance from the rich experience of our past presidents and senior members whose insights are priceless.
A major milestone in our journey is the construction of the SICBMA Tech Center, our upcoming headquarters and hub for innovation, training, and industry collaboration. This landmark project is a key objective for the year, representing our vision for the future - a future driven by knowledge, technology, and a shared purpose.
Our commitment to skill development continues with renewed vigor, offering members opportunities to upskill through workshops, training programs, and access to expert insights. We are also focusing on technology updates, enabling our members to stay competitive with the latest industry tools and practices.
