Spanish paper mill Paprinsa relies on Voith Service

Two Spanish paper mills already rely on Voith’s services – now Voith has signed a 5 year service contract with Papelera del Principado S.A. - Paprinsa. Voith will supply the mill maintenance services for the Paprinsa mill, located in Mollerussa (Lleida) in the northern part of Spain. With this 5 year performance maintenance agreement Voith will establish and manage all maintenance systems, processes and procedures in the mill.
“We are pleased to cooperate with Voith in creating a world-class operation at our Paprinsa site” commented Javier Farré, Managing Director. “The outsourcing of maintenance was decided after visiting other sites in Spain convincing us of the benefits, performance and customer satisfaction of Voith performance maintenance services, which will further contribute to our operational performance.”

Voith offers worldwide flexible services for servicing and maintenance that can be specifically adapted to the customer's production and maintenance needs. The Resident Service contract with Paprinsa includes the full responsibility for the maintenance business process targeting lower maintenance cost and a higher time efficiency. In order to capture the correct starting point in the preparation phase, the customer and Voith jointly conducted a number of deep investigations with main focus on current maintenance process, instituted HSE (safety, health and environmental) guidelines and the condition of the installations onsite. Based on the results, the project team commonly defined the project objectives and the improvement expectations. In this project Voith will do the maintenance management and take care of maintenance personnel demand. The project implementation started in January 2014.

Papelera del Principado S.A., PAPRINSA, was founded in 1978 and started producing cardboard in 1980. With 100% recycled fiber, the mill is today producing 85.000 t coated carton board for domestic and international markets.
