Indonesian pulp and paper firm orders 4 L&W automatic paper testing systems

KISTA, Sweden, Oct. 29, 2009 (Press Release) - A leading pulp and paper corporation in Indonesia has made the decision to purchase four L&W Autoline 400 systems from Lorentzen & Wettre to their Indonesian mills at various locations.

The corporation is ranked one of the largest vertically integrated pulp and paper producers in Asia with an annual combined pulp, paper and packaging grades capacity of approximately 7 million tons per year in Indonesia. Two of the new systems from Lorentzen & Wettre are replacements of about 15 years old L&W Autoline 200 systems and two are new installations.

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 and the fact that one of the world's most important paper makers chooses instruments from us is clear evidence of our position - as market leader in quality control testing and process optimization for the pulp and paper industry", says Patrik Stolpe, President, Lorentzen & Wettre.
