Krempel is continuing to invest in the future of its Thalheim site. The modernisation of the presspaper machine marks an important step in further improving product quality and expanding the existing portfolio to include thinner presspaper grades. The investment enables Krempel to respond even more effectively to evolving market and customer requirements. Global demand for presspaper continues to grow, driven in particular by the expansion of renewable energy and the replacement of ageing transformers. Krempel expects additional market potential of 30 to 40% by 2029.

Enhanced quality and an expanded product portfolio

The modernisation creates the technical basis for achieving even more consistent and reliable product quality. At the same time, it enables Krempel to expand its portfolio with thinner presspaper grades and opens up new opportunities for future product developments. This strengthens Krempel’s ability to provide high-quality presspaper solutions tailored to the increasing demands of modern electrical insulation applications.

Strengthening the Paper Technology Competence Centre

With this investment, Krempel is strengthening its Paper Technology Competence Centre in Thalheim and further developing its presspaper portfolio with a clear focus on quality and innovation. The entire modernisation project was carried out in close collaboration with regional partners and companies, underlining Krempel’s commitment to the Thalheim site while strengthening regional value creation and the local network.
