In recent years, due to rising energy costs and labor shortages, the demand for energy saving and labor saving has continued to grow. In addition, environmental initiatives are also desired as a matter of social responsibility. As a general PMC/Roll manufacturer, we have achieved energy savings with advanced fibers, and labor savings with seam felts have been extended to shoe press, wet bottom and hygiene paper in our felt division. For the environment, we have started the “PURE” project to reduce CO2 emissions by manufacturing pressfelts from recycled materials, including used felts. We present these items this time.
