After a presentation about the UPM Group and the location Ettringen, the visitors were given a tour of the paper machine PM 5 and the stock preparation system DIP 3.

The Voith paper machine 5 in Ettringen produces magazine papers and newsprint with an annual capacity of 280,000 tons. The key components of the deinking plant such as flotation, dispersion and fine screening are also Voith products. After the tour, all questions on the production process were comprehensively answered by the production management.

Fortified by a hearty meal in a nearby rustic inn the group also went on a short walk along the Stauden area in Kirch-Siebnach, before the Voithians entered the return coach to Ravensburg, full of impressions.
