Saica Paper UK continues the collaboration with Voith and extends the ongoing service contract for mechanical maintenance in the stock preparation running since 2019. The agreement focusses on effective maintenance planning, efficient use of resources, ontime repairs and trouble-shooting solutions.

Supported with Voith process technology investigations, the collaboration ensures availability and performance of stock preparation performance at design level, even with the plant in its 14th year. 

“Last year we had uninterrupted machine production by eliminating unplanned stoppages from stock preparation, which improved both productivity and quality of our paper. Success of the service contract has been achieved by working with shared goals,” explains Darren Hoyle, Mill Maintenance Manager at Saica Paper UK.

The Saica Group offers sustainable paper solutions for the manufacture of corrugated board and packaging, promoting circularity in waste management.

The Voith Group is a global technology company.
