“ahead – Together with our customers
towards superior solutions for board and
packaging papers
“ahead – Under this motto, experts of
the European board and packaging
paper industry met in Vienna from 26 to
28 April 1998 at the Customer Information
Meeting of the Paper Machine
Division Board and Packaging.
For one and a half days, the European
board and packaging paper industry
focused its attention on the event taking
place at the Austria Center Vienna, Austria´s
largest conference center. At this
meeting, not only the most recent Voith
Sulzer Paper Technology developments
on this sector were presented but also
noted guest speakers held papers in particular
on important market developments
affecting board and packaging
papers. Additionally, four customers
offered us an interesting insight into the
technological and economic results of
Voith Sulzer Paper Technology rebuilds
and the startup of PM6 at Zülpich Papier.

With “ahead, a discussion forum was
created,thus fulfilling an important aim of
Voith Sulzer Paper Technology: Together
with our customers, we want to move on
– “ahead – towards innovative and flexible
solutions. To realize this aim, we closely
observe the markets of our customers
and the requirements placed on board
and packaging papers. The conference
was organized by the international Center
of Competence of the Paper Machine
Division Board and Packaging in St. Pölten,
Austria. Large sections of the European
market have only been served from
St. Pölten for a short time and therefore
in particular European customers were
invited to inform themselves about
the know-how and commitment of the
“Board and Packaging” team of Voith
Sulzer Paper Technology. The conference
also offered the opportunity to meet the
members of the sales and technology
team in a relaxed atmosphere.
