Collaboration for Efficiency.

Last year, a group of ViskoTeepak employees embarked on a transformative journey, spending two days with Techpartner, our Italian partner, to strengthen collaboration and propel our quest for enhanced efficiency and sustainability. This visit took place in Hanko, Finland, where ViskoTeepak operates one of its Fibrous production units. The purpose of the meeting was to deepen our collaborative efforts, explore new avenues for improvement, and gain insights into the challenges and opportunities inherent in the fibrous production process, transportation, and innovations. Hanko provided an immersive environment, fostering meaningful discussions and hands-on learning, paving the way for innovative solutions and advancements in our journey towards a more efficient and sustainable future.

SUCCESS THROUGH COLLABORATION

“Personally, I think we achieved this kind of success because we spent some time with each other to create a better understanding of both sides. Thank you to the entire team in Hanko and Delfzijl as well as our Partner for their dedication and contributions to this achievement.”
Wim Bos, Technical Support Manager

Longer production runs

Nowadays we maintain continuous and close contact with Techpartner to optimize various aspects of our product offerings. One notable improvement is the implementation of simpler print designs on the casing, resulting in better yields. We have also transitioned from two-sided printing to a more sustainable approach of printing on a single side. This not only enhances yields but also aligns with our commitment to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, our new setup allows for longer production runs on the machines, reducing the need for frequent changes in settings. This applies to both printing and shirring of the casing.

Increased quantity within the same space

Techpartner has already received batches of shirred fibrous casing, with each strand measuring 75 meters in length. Remarkably, a single shipment can now include 9 boxes, totaling 12,000 meters of casing, compared to the previous quantity of 6,000 meters. What’s even more impressive is that this increased quantity fits within the same space as before! It is truly gratifying to witness the final look of this remarkable green development. In comparison to our previous shipments, ViskoTeepak has managed to reduce the number of cartons, plastic, and pallets used by half, making it a standard practice today. Our partner’s warehouse has already begun to appreciate this new solution, and we are confident that also their customers warehouses will be delighted by the increased stock capacity without requiring additional space. We eagerly look forward to implementing this approach with more products, as it not only reduces costs but also contributes to our collective sustainability goals.
