At the end of January, Voith inaugurated its new refurbishment workshop in Karlstad, Sweden, alongside its customers, business partners, employees and media representatives. The new workshop and office space significantly increase capacity for refurbishment services of screw presses and screens in the Karlstad region, Scandinavia, and for all of Europe. It also presents the opportunity to refurbish other equipment, such as rotary valves, vacuum pumps and rolls.

• New workshop and office in Karlstad, Sweden, increase capacity for refurbishment services in Scandinavia and all over Europe 
• State-of-the-art equipment ensures highest level and wide range of technology services for customers

“Our new location in Karlstad is a clear investment in the future of Voith Paper in Sweden,” says Jan Haraldsson, Operations Manager at Voith Paper Fabrics Högsjö AB. “Our customers now benefit from state-of-the-art equipment, a higher capacity and an even wider range of refurbishment services than before.”

During the event, members of the Voith Paper Products & Services leadership teams from Sweden and Germany alongside BTG and representatives of longstanding customers, including Holmen Braviken, learned about Voith Paper’s presence in Scandinavia and its efforts and achievements in sustainability and digitalization.

Wider range of refurbishment services
With the new location in Karlstad, Voith replaces the previous site of its Products & Services Division, doubles capacity for screw press refurbishments and meets increasing customer demands in this area. The largest screw presses can now be overhauled at the Voith site, allowing customers to significantly reduce downtime due to screw press refurbishments at their plant. Additionally, the new facility is equipped with a larger overhead crane capacity.

“The expanded crane capacity enables us to serve our customers with a wider range of refurbishment services,” says Krister Nygard, Service Center Director Scandinavia at Voith Paper Fabrics Högsjö AB. “We can refurbish rotary valves, vacuum pumps, rolls and other components.”

Clear focus on sustainability and efficiency
The expansion in Sweden goes hand in hand with Voith’s commitment to sustainable and efficient paper production. Refurbishment services allow for the economical use of raw materials and an increase in efficiency while utilizing existing resources. With the new location, Voith additionally sets a clear focus to serve its customers with efficient and sustainable services using state-of-the-art technology and expertise. In the course of the inauguration, Voith celebrates 10 years of its Products & Services Division in Sweden and takes the next step to further strengthen its business operations in northern Europe.

About the Voith Group
The Voith Group is a global technology company. With its broad portfolio of systems, products, services and digital applications, Voith sets standards in the markets of energy, paper, raw materials and transport & automotive. Founded in 1867, the company today has around 21,000 employees, sales of € 4.9 billion and locations in over 60 countries worldwide and is thus one of the larger family-owned companies in Europe.

The Group Division Voith Paper is part of the Voith Group. As the full-line supplier to the paper industry, it provides the largest range of technologies, services, and products on the market, and offers paper manufacturers integrated solutions from one source. The company’s continuous stream of innovations facilitates resource-conserving production and helps customers minimize their carbon footprint. With its comprehensive automation products and leading digitalization solutions from the Papermaking 4.0 portfolio, Voith offers its customers state-of-the-art digital technologies to improve plant availability and efficiency for all sections of the production process.

The Voith Group has published the 13th edition of its annual Sustainability Report for fiscal year 2021/22. The focus is on the sustainability strategy, resource efficiency and employee safety in the company's own activities. In addition, the Sustainability Report shows how Voith products and services help customers worldwide achieve their sustainability goals. "We want to make a measurable contribution to the sustainable development of the economy and society," explains Dr. Toralf Haag, CEO Voith Group. "To this end, we make our actions transparent and comprehensible through comprehensive reporting."

In the paper industry, Voith Paper sets the standards in the area of resource-saving paper production. As part of its Papermaking for Life sustainability program, the leading full-line supplier has set ambitious targets for 2030 to significantly improve its customers' carbon footprint:

• 100 percent CO₂-neutral paper production thanks to energy-optimized products, digital solutions, disruptive concepts and the efficient use of renewable energies
• 90 percent fresh water savings thanks to a completely new papermaking process
• 90 percent recycling rate thanks to the development of new fiber streams

In total, Voith Paper invests around 100 million euros per year in the development of efficient and sustainable innovations. To drive decarbonization forward, Voith Paper is focusing on four areas in its research and development work: Voith Paper is continuously optimizing its existing product portfolio to reduce energy consumption. One example here is the newly developed InduraClean (IDC) product family. Depending on requirements, the focus of the modular cleaning technology can be placed on significantly increased production, energy reduction of up to 50 percent or vastly improved separation efficiency. On the other hand, digital solutions ensure improved process efficiency with reduced shutdowns, which also reduces CO₂ emissions. In order to realize CO₂-neutral paper production by 2030, Voith Paper is also working with partners on disruptive concepts that have the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by further 50 percent. The fourth R&D area focuses on using renewable energies as efficiently as possible and identifying suitable storage options.

Strong focus on sustainability also in own activities
As a family-owned company, Voith also feels a particular responsibility to avoid environmental risks and to use resources responsibly in its own operations. The company’s commitment was confirmed by the independent rating agency ISS ESG, which again awarded Voith a premium rating of B- last year. This makes Voith one of the world's top companies in plant and mechanical engineering.

Over the past 10 years (2011/12 - 2021/22), Voith sites have been able to reduce energy consumption by 34 percent, water consumption by 44 percent and waste volume by 38 percent in relation to sales. In addition, all Voith locations worldwide have been climate-neutral since the beginning of 2022. Energy-saving and more efficient solutions were installed for this purpose. Voith also increased the share of renewable energies in the overall electricity mix from 38 percent in the previous year to currently 80 percent. In the same period, the company's own photovoltaic and hydroelectric power plants helped to generate 8.3 GWh of electricity themselves. As a result, the Voith Group was able to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent in fiscal 2021/22 and voluntarily compensated for the remaining emissions. By 2049/2050, emissions that are currently unavoidable are also to be reduced to a minimum.

In addition to ecological sustainability, social responsibility is a top priority at Voith. Closely related to this are occupational safety and health protection for Voith employees. With the help of safe workplaces and processes, accidents and work-related illnesses are to be avoided to the greatest extent possible. Thanks to a comprehensive occupational safety program, the number of workplace accidents in fiscal 2021/22 was reduced from 79 to 61 compared to the previous year. The frequency rate is therefore 1.6 (= number of occupational accidents per million hours worked). Voith is strongly focused on further reducing the number of occupational accidents to a minimum.

The Voith Sustainability Report 2022 contains many other examples, research and development areas, and projects examples that illustrate Voith's commitment to sustainability. The Voith Sustainability Report is now available for download on the Voith website. In addition, you can find more information about Voith Paper's sustainability program Papermaking for Life here.

BiOrigin Specialty Products started up PM2 at its Menominee site in Michigan after the successful completion of a wet section rebuild supplied by Toscotec on a turnkey basis. PM2 is a MG (Machine Glazed) machine producing specialty papers including MG grades and flexible packaging products.

A fully customized design 
The project started with an onsite survey by Toscotec’s technical team who identified the primary targets of the new design, in particular moisture profile and CD bone dry profile. BiOrigin Specialty Products (or ‘BSP’) selected Toscotec’s design solution, valuing the importance of a fully customized technical offer based on the analysis of the machine’s operating data.

Target achieved 
The rebuild achieved its targets of remarkable enhancement of cross direction (CD) profiles of the paper sheet. In particular, the new TT Headbox-SL’s dilution control allowed to improve the bone-dry profile; an optimized jet distribution and jet landing led to the improvement of the moisture and basis weight (BW) profiles.
The installation of dewatering elements with angle and height adjustable blades in the Fourdrinier section increased wire dewatering.
As a result, the rebuild improved the machine runnability, delivered definite potential for future production increase and improved sheet formation on all produced grades both in absolute terms and across the machine width.

A turnkey rebuild 
Toscotec supplied the approach flow system, a hydraulic TT Headbox-SL fitted with dilution control to ensure optimal profile control, and an upgrade of the Fourdrinier section. The turnkey supply of the rebuild included a complete service package with erection, erection supervision, commissioning, and start-up assistance. 

Steve Michalko, BSP’s Vice President Technical Service, says, “The entire project went smoothly from inception to successful completion without any significant concerns. The start-up curve was literally hours, and we continue to see intended and unanticipated improvements. The solutions provided by Toscotec have eliminated previous operational constraints and positioned BiOrigin Specialty Products to improve both capability and productivity moving forward.”

Luca Ghelli, R&D Director at Toscotec, says, “Since the beginning of this project, BiOrigin Specialty Products and Toscotec’s teams have been working in sync toward a common goal with a strong feeling of reciprocal respect. This kind of approach is in itself a recipe for success. The very positive outcome of the rebuild is of course the icing on the cake.”

About BiOrigin Specialty Products
With a focus on eco-friendly specialty paper, packaging, and tissue, BiOrigin Specialty Products is a trusted wholesale paper supplier, continuing to thrive, grow, and manufacture some of the finest sustainable paper and tissue products in North America.

Metsä Board, a leading supplier of fresh fibre paperboards and part of Metsä Group, has updated its strategic 2030 sustainability targets. The new targets highlight its commitment to safeguarding natural biodiversity, mitigating climate change, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, healthy workplace communities and ethical operations. The sustainability targets are categorised according to the ESG perspectives.

Natural biodiversity is safeguarded in wood sourcing through measures that increase the diversity of tree species and the amount of decaying wood, and by preserving valuable habitats. The 2030 targets are monitored with a comprehensive, more than doubled set of indicators. Also climate-positive actions in forests have been increased.

Metsä Board’s target regarding climate change is unchanged. To mitigate climate change Metsä Board is aiming for 100% fossil free production and products by the end of the year 2030. This target includes both emissions from the company’s own energy production (scope 1) as well as purchased energy (scope 2). Currently, 87% of the energy used at Metsä Board mills is fossil free.

For water use, Metsä Board has set an even stricter target of 35% (previously 30%) reduction in process water use per product tonne and continues to aim at a minimum of a 10% energy efficiency improvement by the end of the year 2030 compared to the 2018 level.

Several indicators related to ethical operations and well-being at work have been added in target setting. Metsä Board will monitor job satisfaction, the implementation of anonymous recruitment processes, and the share of women in leadership positions.

Indicators related to society and supply chain sustainability include the share of certified wood, supplier surveys and audits, and shared sustainability targets with key partners.

Metsä Board’s sustainability targets are in line with the strategic sustainability 2030 objectives of Metsä Group. The sustainability target updates are based on materiality analysis based on discussions with various stakeholder groups. The analysis was carried out in the autumn 2022.

More information about Metsä Board’s sustainability and all new sustainability targets for 2030 can be found at the company’s website.
