Tissue specialists of the Körber Group now offer unique portfolio under a common brand
Lucca, 14 October 2020. Synergy between tissue companies will meet customers increased needs for speed, choice and technologically advanced solutions.
With the strategic aim of becoming the most advanced and complete supplier in the world of technologies dedicated to tissue, Fabio Perini, Casmatic and MTC reach out to the market with one strong brand: Körber. The companies of the Körber Groups Business Area Tissue offer holistic solutions for the converting and packaging of toilet rolls, kitchen towels, and folded products.
Over the past few years, the tissue industry has been dealing with unprecedented pressure and challenges. Pulp price volatility, fierce competition across global markets, and the need for stronger differentiation are just the beginning. Combined with an increasing strive for sustainability and the difficulty in recruiting skilled operators - this all adds to the demanding market environment as producers also aim at enhancing their overall operational efficiency.
“It’s tougher than ever for our customers to run their operations in a profitable and sustainable way,” says Oswaldo Cruz Junior, Chief Executive Officer of the Business Area Körber Tissue. “Fabio Perini and Casmatic have been the reference points for quality and innovation in converting and packaging in tissue for more than fifty years, while MTC is a world leader in the development, production, and marketing of machines for folded products. Today we unify, underline and strengthen this triple capability under a single brand: Körber”.
“The success of our customers has always been at the center of our innovations in technology”, continues Cruz. “We support them with outstanding solutions, an active approach towards market challenges and an unmatched service portfolio and presence around the globe. These tangible benefits for our regional and global customers can lead to more benefits as we combine the competencies of all our companies even more effectively than in the past. So, the new joint brand is a logical step in bringing this strong message to the market.”
The Körber Business Area Tissue provides advanced, automated and easy-to-use integrated solutions, key resources for increasing efficiency via its global expert team that supports customers globally and locally.
Cruz concludes: “This step represents an important opportunity for our customers too as we will be able to meet the most challenging needs for speed, choice and technologically advanced solutions, relying not only on the integrated offerings of the companies of the Körber Business Area Tissue. We can also draw from the technology expertise of around 10,000 employees of the Körber Group”.
