Voith Industrial Services is an internationally active provider of industrial services, which include on-site services for the paper manufacturing industry. Its range of services also includes maintenance audits, analyses of potential and introduction of total productive maintenance (TPM) systems. The company has a wealth of experience in planning and introduction of maintenance planning systems (MPS) for the paper manufacturing industry. Voith Industrial Services has access to the expertise and the data collected by the group’s Voith Paper Division – including the know-how accumulated over 140 years of designing and manufacturing paper machines.

Voith Industrial Services has introduced TPM systems at a large number of paper mills and the results prove just how successful these can be in helping to slash maintenance costs. Benchmarking of maintenance procedures and costs at a number of other paper manufacturing plants enables a manufacturer to evaluate his own cost situation and forms a basis for identifying opportunities to optimize performance. Voith Industrial Services has prepared benchmarks of this kind for many of its customers and given them advice on cost-saving potential from which they have drawn significant benefit.

The maintenance services offered by Voith Industrial Services includes not only work on a paper mill’s actual manufacturing plant but also services ranging from maintenance of technical installations in buildings to full responsibility for management of building infrastructure and technical installations. By selecting individual services from the full spectrum offered by Voith, customers can also order combinations that are tailor-made to the needs of specific plants and operational guarantee safety and flexibility, plus a uniformly high level of availability of their paper mill’s manufacturing capacity.
