Overview

The paper industry is one of the most specialised in manufacturing business today. It is a market where "dog eat dog" has become an increasing reality. The importance of staying lowest cost producer whilst maintaining quality in this commodity market has led to many plants being closed down or moved overseas to lower cost environments. Organisations are increasingly creating niche markets where the slightest increases in margins can be the difference between survival and failure. Newton has considerable experience working with Paper manufacturing organisations to squeeze every penny of value from existing operations, and by so doing, enhancing their operational performance and financial delivery. Talk is cheap. We are proud of our factual achievements made whilst working with experienced and professional in-house teams.

Specific Processes
Our consultants have experience of increasing paper machine efficiencies in tissue, paper and boxboard environments. This includes stock limited and machine limited processes, within the UK, Europe and the North America.

Converting and Finishing
These value adding processes frequently have to deal with imperfections from paper machines as well as the line effect of downtime across multiple in line machines.

Printing

Print quality, short run lengths and paper quality requirements make world class productivity levels difficult to achieve.

Corrugating
In one of the most commodity driven paper sectors high productivity and low costs are essential in an aggressive international market place.

Laminating and Coating
Combining paper with often advanced polymer and chemical processes makes achieving low waste and high efficiency a significant challenge.

We have worked with our clients to improve substantially the operational performance of each of these processes.
