We’ve got some exciting news: UPM and ANDRITZ have signed a strategic, multi-year cooperation agreement to enable tissue manufacturers to develop and optimize next-generation tissue products and processes. The partnership combines ANDRITZ's expertise in process and equipment engineering with UPM's leadership in pulp and fibre technology to drive innovation across the value chain, from raw materials to production processes. Tissue producers can participate directly in joint trials, working with both UPM's technical team and ANDRITZ's process experts to develop and optimise next-generation tissue products and processes at ANDRITZ's PrimeLineTIAC Tissue Innovation and Application Center. “By bringing our fibre expertise and ANDRITZ’s deep knowledge in process technology together in a shared development environment, we provide our customers with access to unique technical capabilities and world-class facilities for innovation,” explains Tomas Wiklund, Senior Vice President, Pulp Sales, UPM Fibres. The ANDRITZ team welcomed Monique Claverie and Roberto Mirande from UPM last week at the ANDRITZ headquarters in Graz, Austria, to exchange insights and discuss current and upcoming topics in the tissue area.
