Global Gypsum Knowledge Base

The Global Gypsum Knowledge Base is an archive of Global Gypsum Magazine since 2007, the Global Gypsum Directory and presentations/papers from the Global Gypsum Conference since 2007.

Global Gypsum is well-known as the foremost source of information for the global gypsum industry. Global Gypsum Magazine has published all the news available on the industry for more than a decade, as well as including articles on market developments, country reports and technical articles on production advances.

The Global Gypsum Directory is the only directory to include all of the world's gypsum wallboard plants, as well as their production capacity and contact details. The directory also includes contact details of many of the world's foremost equipment and additive suppliers for the global gypsum industry.

The Global Gypsum Conference annually showcases developments in the global gypsum industry, not only in market trends, but also in production and technology advances. The event is the 'must-attend' conference and exhibition for all gypsum professionals.

The Global Gypsum Knowledge Base is presented in PDF format.
