Having commenced his career in Project Forwarding and subsequently working for a Shipowner, Alan Bog has now been involved in Forest Products Handling and Distribution for more than 30 years.

His first experience of this sector was in France, particularly in the port of Rouen, which grew to be a major point of entry for paper and pulp.

Since 2008 he has been based in China, responsible for the commercial development for Euroports’ facility in Changshu, the major hub for imported pulp, and their inland distribution centres.

Euroports is one of the leading terminal operators in the pulp and paper field, currently operating facilities all over Europe and in China.

Alan has served 2 terms as a Board member of IFPTA and recently became the President Elect, scheduled to take over the Presidency at the end of the Symposium.
