Paper & Board
Today , Ranheim is a formidable force , as we hear from Head of Supply Chain , Ørjan Knutzen . “ The factory began as an industrial cornerstone for the local community here . If you go back , before the factory was built , there was nothing in the area , except for farmland . So , it ’ s basically the determination and the involvement from the community that has built us into the operation we are now . This means that the values from the people who work with us have created a very special atmosphere as a result .” He adds that Ranheim is the only manufacturer in Europe with integrated paper and solid board production at one location and is also one of the very few manufacturers to boast 100 percent recycled fiber-based production .
... we ’ re very excited about how the new system will streamline our operations
For supply chains across the globe , the last two years have been anything but easy . While juggling financial stability , companies have had to navigate labor shortages , price pressure , and CO 2 reduction targets . However , over at Ranheim , the business is working especially hard to overcome these hurdles . One of the critical aspects to ensuring the company ’ s continued success , despite industry setbacks , is the development and strengthening of relationships with its key transport vendors . According to Ørjan , the company extensively utilizes rail and sea transport , especially for distribution along the coast of Norway and shipments to continental Europe , the UK , Ireland , Iceland , and the Faroe Islands . scw-mag . com 65
