Paper, Pulp & Printing Industries
We bring deep automation for pulp making, chemical recovery, paper machines, slitting and converting, lamination, and
printing lines
From wood chip to printed sheet automated.
End-to-end automation for pulp making, chemical recovery, paper
machines, slitting and converting, lamination, and printing lines —
engineered for sheet quality, precise web tension control, and the energy
efficiency that determines mill economics.
Plant-wide integration is the competitive advantage
Pulp, paper, and printing operations succeed through plant-wide integration, advanced process control, and lifecycle optimization. Margins are tight, energy is a major cost, and quality variability translates directly into customer complaints and rejected reels. Modern mills win by combining deep process control with data-driven optimization across the full production chain.
We deliver automation that helps mills achieve higher yields, better sheet quality, lower energy
consumption, and the data integration needed for smart-mill transformation.

Why Choose VALORPLUS
Got questions about our engineering process or project delivery? Discover how we make engineering simple and effective.
Can you migrate legacy mill DCS to a modern platform?
Yes. We specialize in modernizing legacy Distributed Control Systems (DCS) by upgrading hardware, software, and communication networks while minimizing operational disruption. Our migration approach helps improve reliability, maintainability, and long-term system support.
Do you handle drive system retrofits?
Yes. We provide drive system retrofit solutions for paper machines, conveyors, winders, and other production equipment. Upgrading existing drives improves performance, energy efficiency, process control, and equipment reliability.
Can you integrate QCS with our existing DCS?
Yes. We can integrate Quality Control Systems (QCS) with your existing DCS to provide real-time process monitoring, quality management, and production optimization. This enables better control over product consistency and operational performance.
What about biomass and chemical recovery automation?
We deliver automation solutions for biomass boilers, chemical recovery systems, and utility operations within pulp and paper facilities. These systems help improve process efficiency, energy utilization, safety, and environmental compliance.
Can you handle multi-product lines?
Yes. Our automation solutions are designed to support facilities producing multiple grades or product types. We implement flexible control strategies that simplify changeovers, maintain quality standards, and maximize production efficiency.
Do you support shutdown-window cutovers?
Yes. We carefully plan and execute system migrations, upgrades, and commissioning activities during scheduled shutdown periods. Detailed preparation and testing help ensure smooth cutovers while minimizing production downtime and operational risk.
Can you support energy management?
Yes. We provide monitoring and control solutions that track energy consumption across production processes and utilities. By identifying inefficiencies and optimizing resource usage, we help reduce operating costs and support sustainability goals.
