Mission

Provide the cores for the newsprint machine on a timely basis. Wrap and ship the rolls of paper with due regard of customer specifications.

Description

Wrapping and Shipping covers three areas: the core room (the cores are the cardboard tubes around which new paper is wound), the wrapping equipment and the shipping facilities.

In the core room, we take the cores received from our suppliers and prepare them to meet our customers’ needs and requirements. We prepare approximately 1180 cores on a daily basis, cutting them to various lengths using Lar Machinery and Berlin Foundry equipment.

Our Lamb 1971 packaging system, which has undergone several improvements over the years, wraps about 1180 rolls of paper every day. In May 2000, we installed a Motoman robot, a Lamb hydraulic upender hoist and two new loading docks.

The Shipping department operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Our order management is such that we can load directly from production instead of maintaining an inventory, which is advantageous from several points of view. All paper rolls are handled using electric forklifts so as to eliminate the emissions generated by gas-powered lifts. On average, we load 30 trucks per day in addition to shipping several rail cars on a weekly basis.
