We are your expert for all paper grades
Paper accompanies us daily, whether it’s during our morning reading, when paying at the supermarket check-out or while packing gifts. Without paper, the world as we know it today would be utterly unthinkable.
Voith knows the demands that the various paper grades make of a paper machine and supplies both individual components as well as the entire machine for their production. Thanks to our know-how, we are in a position to react quickly and flexibly to changes in the paper industry, for example, if a new security feature on bank notes is introduced or if packaging materials are to be made more stable. For many years together with our customers, we have been successfully developing solutions that meet the increasing demands for paper products and are at the same time both ecological and economically efficient.
