The OVOL Fiber Europe (Before known as Price & Pierce Fiber) office was founded in November 2014.

This was the moment when OVOL acquired the European
recovered fiber activities from GP Harmon International and Jeroen de
Vries was appointed as managing director.

The OVOL Fiber Europe team combines commercial strengths with
extensive operational and logistical knowledge in the recovered fiber industry.

While none of the companies within the global corporation of OVOL had any previous trade experience in the recovered fiber industry, the office in The Netherlands commenced with an accumulated 30 years of trading expertise in this industry.

Japan Pulp and Paper Corporation Ltd listed at the First Section of the
Tokyo Stock Exchange has publicly stated their goal of overall group
revenue increasing from USD 6 billion in 2010 to USD 10 billion in 2020.
