Tissue World Magazine

What Tissue World Magazine does

Tissue World Magazine is a B2B media platform serving the global tissue and towel industry. It operates an independent news publication covering tissue manufacturers, converters, suppliers, and distributors, complemented by a recurring events franchise (notably Tissue World Miami, Tissue World Milan, and events in Düsseldorf), a biweekly e-newsletter, and print and digital subscription services. The publication maintains deep editorial specialization with regional country reports covering 30+ geographies, technical themes spanning the full supply chain (chemicals, converting, paper machine, pulping/fibre, packaging, logistics, environment), and feature sections on geopolitics, private label, retail, and distribution.

The underlying technology is a digital publishing platform with newsletter distribution and event management capabilities, without disclosed AI/ML features, APIs, or proprietary technology beyond standard B2B media tooling. Tissue World Magazine operates as part of Informa Markets, a trading division of Informa PLC (LSE: INF), and is wholly owned under Informa's corporate umbrella with its registered office at 5 Howick Place, London.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: advertising and sponsorship across the magazine, website, and industry events (including a sponsorship brochure for Tissue World Miami 2026); and recurring subscription revenue from paid print and digital subscriptions. The go-to-market motion is event-driven, combining editorial content marketing, newsletter engagement, and in-person exhibitions to monetize a concentrated audience of tissue industry professionals and a smaller set of large enterprise advertisers/sponsors.
