Voith Paper Air Systems is especially pleased in this case because it already is the second large contract which could be gained from the Trier plant within a few months and despite a strong competition.

This contract is another step towards a successful cooperation with JTI, the third largest cigarette manufacture in the world, who’s headquarters are located in Tokyo, Japan.

As in the first contract the highest demands what reliability, hygiene, energy efficiency and maintenance friendliness is concerned are made.
