Nelspruit branch helps paper and pulp facility remain competitive

South Africa’s paper and pulp industry is a vital economic sector, with the adoption of sustainable practices, such as improved energy efficiency, having bolstered its resilience despite challenges such as high transportation costs, water and energy intensity and limited suitable forestry land. Drive technology and automation specialist SEW-EURODRIVE  says it has dedicated many years to modernising the industry through key initiatives that ensure cost effectiveness and alignment with global technology and trends. Bringing these advancements to Mpumalanga, which is the home of South Africa’s paper sector, the company has supplied purpose-built and precisely engineered industrial gears, geared motors, servo drives and a range of electronic products that were tailored to meet an operation’s specific needs.
