L&W to supply Grupo Gondi with paper testing system

Mexican paper and packaging company Grupo Gondi has made the decision to purchase an L&W Autoline 400 system from Lorentzen & Wettre for its mill Empaques Modernos Guadalajara, through Lorentzen & Wettres representative, IVF y Asociados, SA de CV.

Empaques Modernos Guadalajara is a paper mill producing recycled liners and coated papers with weight from 100 to 600 g/m2, and has a modern plant for corrugated boxes.

As Grupo Gondi relies on certified processes and international standards the choice fell on Lorentzen & Wettre when they had a need for improved quality testing, and faster feedback on final quality to their production department.

L&W Autoline 400 is the fourth generation of automated paper testing systems from Lorentzen & Wettre. The system quickly measures the paper properties, identifies problem areas and therefore allows papermakers to optimize the process and thereby improving the paper quality.

"This is a significant order since it will be the first L&W Autoline 400 (automated paper testing system) installation ever in Mexico. The fact that one of the leading corporations chooses instruments from us shows our position as market leader in quality control testing and process optimization for the pulp and paper industry," said Klara Mårtens Ekblad, Director of Sales, Lorentzen & Wettre.
