🔬🏆 Research that creates value in the mill. Patrick Wegele, R&D Engineer at Voith Paper, has been recognized with the Heinzel-Mondi-Sappi Research Award 2026 for his industrial PhD on liquid transport in fiber systems under press nip conditions. We are proud of Patrick and this outstanding achievement, especially because the research is already creating value for customers. The findings help improve the understanding of dewatering processes and are already being applied in Voith simulation solutions for the press section. 📈 Congratulations, Patrick, on this well-deserved recognition and on turning scientific insight into practical impact. 👏 #VoithPaper #PaperIndustry #Research #Innovation #ResourceEfficiency #IndustrialPhD #Dewatering
