Paper Technology Journal 19 - Voith

Hans Müller
Dear Customer, Dear Reader,
The 19th issue of the twogether magazine in front of you clearly depicts
the wide array of products and services Voith Paper Technology offers and
successfully supplies to its worldwide customer base.
On the one side of the spectrum is the world-class installation of the LEIPA
LWC production unit in Germany that performed from the very beginning to
its expectations. Using 100% recovered paper as raw material, it is a trendsetting
novelty in its product segment. Voith Paper Technology supplied
the engineering as well as all the equipment starting from the recovered
paper handling to the roll wrapping and transportation system. It is the
success of the One Platform Concept in combination with the Process Line
Package (PLP) that allowed seamless project management, start-up and
commissioning as well as process optimization.
On the other side of the spectrum is a small paper production line supplied
to Turkmenistan for the production of printing and writing paper based
mainly on cotton linters as raw material.
Voith Fabrics contributes its part to a demanding puzzle together with our
Rolls and Roll Cover Division to make sure that throughout the production
process the web is in touch with optimally engineered surfaces be it rolls,
fabrics or felts.
Looking back at our business year 03/04 we owe thanks our customers
for the continued support and confidence in us. This past business year
has been one of our best. We will invest approx. 50 Mio Euro into a new
Paper Technology Center to continue our support of an industry which we
are convinced will play an important role in the advancement of mankind
and its standard of living.
