Gloggnitz, November 2011. Seam felts offer invaluable safety benefits in felt installation - and this is one of the main reasons for their use. Advantages including substantially less downtime for felt installation and less manpower for the felt change are also key development criteria. The new ProSeam felt generation represents Huyck.Wangner's latest seam felt technology and offers a wide range of powerful and unique solutions to boost productivity. Moreover ProSeam SP is the clothing specialist's first seam felt design for shoe press positions.

Reutlingen/Munich, September 2011. Huyck.Wangner, leading supplier of paper machine clothing, together with the faculty for Process Engineering - Paper and Packaging/Master of Engineering in Paper Technology at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, this year presented Lars Gaida with its talent award worth EUR 1,500. It brings to a full dozen the number of times the traditional prize has been handed to the best student in the basic course.

Gloggnitz/Reutlingen, June 2011. Optimism in the paper industry is returning thanks to steady revenue and sales growth, and the financial crisis seems to have been largely overcome. Current production numbers, particularly for tissue and packaging papers, continue to point to a positive outlook for the coming months. However, papermakers' forecasts are being dampened by sharply rising energy and raw material costs, which are significantly shrinking earnings and thus also impacting investment initiatives. Huyck.Wangner, one of the world's leading suppliers of paper machine clothing, has made it priority number one to develop energy-saving forming fabrics and press felts that add lasting value to the paper production process. The innovative clothing's improved energy balance and very short payback are impressive.

Huyck.Wangner has launched finetexx, its new forming fabric design for SC papers. Based on the new EDC technology, the fabric forms the sheet very efficiently thanks to its innovative drainage control (engineered drainage channels).

Forming fabrics are a crucial element of every paper machine. Combined with the machine layout they provide the cornerstone for the sheet structure, which plays a decisive role in the efficiency of the entire manufacturing process and the paper quality.

Reutlingen, October 2010. Huyck.Wangner just launched its patented, entirely new EDC (Engineered Drainage Channels) forming fabric technology that will replace the SSB product generation. Its unique performance characteristics will give papermakers a substantial paper quality and cost advantage.

Reutlingen/Munich, September 2010. For already the eleventh time, Huyck.Wangner, the leading supplier of paper machine clothing, together with the Munich University of Applied Sciences' faculty of Process Engineering - Paper and Packaging/Master of Engineering in Paper Technology, has awarded the prize for best student enrolled in the basic course. This year, Christoph Herz won the EUR 1,500 prize.

Reutlingen, June 2010. Following last year's slump, the paper industry is slowly starting to turn around. On the heels of a challenging year shaped by the financial restructuring of its parent company, Xerium Technologies Inc., Huyck.Wangner too is once again optimistic about the future.
