What if one of Europe’s most overlooked high-tech products was something we use every single day — and flush away within seconds?   Toilet paper may seem like a simple product. In reality, it must deliver an impressive performance: ✔️ absorbent  ✔️ soft  ✔️ tear-resistant  ✔️ quick to dissolve  ✔️ skin-friendly  ✔️ and ideally resource-efficient Achieving all this requires human expertise, innovation and cutting-edge technology. At WEPA, our approach spans the entire value chain: 🔬Raw material: Fresh fibres and recycled fibres, their origin and length and mix - this is where quality is defined. Being able to use fibres from used cardboard or develop alternative fresh fibre sources like miscanthus is the result of years of research and development at WEPA. ⚙️Paper production: Fibre preparation, dewatering, drying, embossing: all standard steps, but that would not be possible without extremely precisely controlled paper machines. High-tech systems can produce premium tissue paper from many types of fibres, thanks to precisely converting machines. 🧻 Paper processing: Winding, cutting, packaging – highly automated and digitally supported. This is how we create the full breadth of hygiene solutions: toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen rolls, cosmetic tissues, and more. High-tech in use for well-being and hygiene for millions of people in Europe – that's what we stand for at WEPA.
