Vancouver-based Allnorth Consultants has strengthened its pulp and paper team with two senior appointments.

Ryno Eksteen joins as Project Development Manager, bringing nearly 25 years of experience in mechanical engineering and large-scale industrial capital projects across pulp and paper, bio-based manufacturing, power generation and industrial sectors.

Jacques du Plessis joins as Senior Project Manager, with more than 30 years of engineering design experience across pulp and paper, renewable energy, industrial processing and mining projects.

Why This Matters

The appointments support Allnorth’s expansion across the North American pulp and paper market, where mills increasingly need experienced engineering partners for:

• capital upgrades
• feasibility studies
• modernization projects
• energy and process efficiency
• complex project execution

Final Thought

As pulp and paper mills face cost pressure, aging assets and rising demand for modernization, project execution expertise is becoming a clear competitive advantage.
