Management are only some of the
most important services and concepts
that Voith Paper offers to the
paper industry. Being a technology
leader, it is Voith’s top priority to find
correct and perfectly tuned concepts
meeting the customers’ specific
requirements.
The financial sector has also been
discussed. According to Helmut
Sieder, Vice President – Commercial
Sales, Board & Packaging, tailormade
finance solutions are undoubtedly
one of the tasks of a technology
leader.
Interesting talks about technical solutions
Top performance for a successful
future
Technology is one of the most crucial
issues for Voith. It is Voith’s commitment
to tackle its tasks in a systematic,
realistic and ambitious manner.
Jean-Yves Nouazé, Vice President –
Process Technology, confirmed what
Erich Brunnauer, Senior Vice President,
had pointed out in the beginning
of his presentation: Never let the
customer down. Technology can also
help to reduce risks. Board technologist
Dr Torsten Paul told the interested
audience how this works with the
help of various tools, databases, onsite
visits, etc.
When it comes to the runnability of
the paper machine, a smooth and
cross-divisional cooperation is of vital
importance. Voith Paper is the only
supplier who is able to develop and
perfectly tune both paper machine
and clothing. The advantages of this
unique cooperation have been discussed
in three presentations. Clothing
design, felt and wire cleaning, as
well as web stabilizing are an inseparable
triad at Voith.
High-level panel discussion
To ensure its technology leadership in
the long run, Voith is highly dedicated
to research and development activ ities.
Dr Manfred Feichtinger, Vice
President – Process Development,
Board & Packaging, presented the
various Voith Paper research facilities,
as well as the innovation strategy of
“Secure – Build up – Create”, which
is indispensable for such revolutionary
solutions as the BoostDryer.
The paper industry is on the verge
of entering the world of interactive
training. Using EduCAT (Educational
Computer Assisted Training), the
customer will be able to simulate the
use of a real paper machine.
