Valmet to deliver two automated paper testing laboratories for Brigl & Bergmeister's paper mills

Valmet Paper Labs deliver accurate and rapid measurement results that are used to monitor and control the quality of the specialty papers produced by the two mills.

The order is included in Valmet's orders received of the second quarter 2021. The value of the order will not be disclosed. Both analyzers are scheduled to be delivered during the fourth quarter 2021.

“The original motivation for these investments was the improvement of the quality of our products. The Valmet Paper Lab will give us the opportunity to either increase the frequency of the standard quality measurements, and on the other hand, to reduce the regular manual work in order to have more time for special quality measurements,” says Eugen Habsburg-Lothringen, Head of Technology, Brigl & Bergmeister.

“We have been collaborating with Brigl & Bergmeister for a long time and they already have our automation and quality control systems as well as analyzers and measurements in their mills. And now, the end-product quality measured by Valmet Paper Labs supplements our offering and is a good continuation of our cooperation,” says Markku Merra, Sales Manager, Automation, Valmet.
