Körber Business Area Tissue showcases an ecosystem of integrated solutions at Tissue World Miami 2022

Körber’s customers are striving to keep their business healthy and they need the company’s help. They are feeling the pressure of strained resources. Pulp price volatility, ongoing labor shortages, increased global competition, and the overarching sustainability challenges of the tissue industry have them seeking multifaceted solutions.

EXPANDING THE KÖRBER ECOSYSTEM

Today, market challenges can only be addressed with an integrated approach that brings together industry knowledge, technology expertise, and a focus on customer service and digital tools across the entire value chain. This combined approach has led to the intentional transition of the Körber ecosystem from a trusted machinery supplier to a true strategic partner.

“Full integration of industry-leading tissue converting and packaging solutions with technological skill sets from other Körber business areas such as Digital and Supply Chain is the key,” said Pete Augustine, President, Körber Business Area Tissue North America.  “Doing so positions Körber to help tissue converters make their business stronger, by increasing OEE and safety, enabling product differentiation and sales, and enhancing the sustainability of their operations”.

KÖRBER PACKAGING SOLUTIONS: HISTORY OF PERFORMANCE, FUTURE OF INNOVATION

An integral part of Körber’s ecosystem is its packaging division. Customers have trusted the company’s equipment for decades due to its reliable performance on shop floors worldwide. Körber Business Area Tissue is using that strong history and reputation to develop packaging innovations for the future. “An impressive packaging solutions portfolio gets even stronger, and new solutions are helping tissue manufacturers find effective ways to drive operational, product development, and sustainability initiatives,” said Claudio Muñoz, Körber Business Area Tissue Marketing Director for Americas.
