It was established in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 2010 and serves as a voice for the paper honeycomb industry across Europe.  

Paper honeycomb, known for its hexagonal cell structure, offers a combination of strength, rigidity, and lightweight properties. It is also claimed to have extremely low aerial weight per cubic metre. 

Together, these functional properties make paper honeycomb a suitable material for protective packaging, as well as for the production of doors, acoustic walls, exhibition panels, and furniture.
