Tissue & Paper Manufacturing Support

Specialist commissioning, operations, and productivity services for tissue mills and paper converting operations.

Industry Challenges

Understanding the specific pressures manufacturers in this sector face every day.

Production Line Reliability

Maintain stable tissue and paper converting operations by minimizing process variability, improving machine reliability, and ensuring consistent production quality across high-speed lines.

Downtime & Production Losses

Reduce unplanned downtime by identifying recurring equipment failures, production bottlenecks, and operational inefficiencies before they impact output.

Asset Performance & OEE

Maximize equipment performance through operational support, continuous improvement initiatives, and data-driven optimization that increases Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

Converting Efficiency & Waste Reduction

Improve converting performance by reducing material waste, optimizing changeovers, increasing throughput, and maintaining consistent line stability.

Case Study

2000 m/min Tissue Line Commissioning

CHALLENGE

A new greenfield tissue mill required expert commissioning support to bring a high-speed tissue machine to design speed within an aggressive 6-month schedule.

SOLUTION

GPM provided a dedicated commissioning team covering mechanical, electrical, process, and quality disciplines from FAT through to ramp-up completion.

RESULTS

  • Design speed achieved 8 weeks ahead of schedule
  • OEE reached 85% within 5 months of startup
  • Zero lost-time incidents throughout the project
  • Full production certification achieved on first assessment

Frequently Asked Questions

What tissue and paper OEMs does GPM have experience with?

GPM has commissioning and operations experience with Valmet, Andritz, Toscotec, Körber, Fabio Perini, Perini, PCMC, and other major tissue and paper OEMs.

Can GPM support both tissue machine and converting operations?
Yes. GPM has experience across the full tissue value chain from tissue machine operations through tissue converting, log saw, packaging, and palletising operations.

 

How quickly can GPM respond to a tissue line stoppage?

Through GPRM remote support, GPM engineers can typically connect to a tissue line within 30–60 minutes of a support request. For on-site requirements, we can mobilise to most global locations within 24–72 hours.
