From shipment to full production in just 16 days: LC Paper ensures reliability and growth with Valmet Perini MyGo
In the paper converting process, the real challenge is not only to produce, but to ensure consistent supply and the certainty that the finished product meets customer expectations. This is where Valmet technology makes the difference, as confirmed by the experience of LC Paper, whose long-standing partnership with Valmet began with the installation of a Perini Sincro 4.0 line and continues today with a Perini MyGo line.
LC Paper, a Spanish family-owned company founded in 1881 and now led by the fifth generation of the founding family, continues its growth journey with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability.
A producer of kraft paper, tissue and related products, LC Paper has always stood out in the market for its production model based on renewable energy, plastic-free packaging and certified fibres, including alternative raw materials such as bamboo.
This commitment led the company to achieve B Corp certification, an international ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) recognition that attests to the highest standards of performance, transparency and accountability.
In recent years, LC Paper has evolved its business model from a parent roll producer into a manufacturer of finished products and an exclusive production partner for third-party brands.
During the pandemic, the decline in Away-from-Home demand pushed the company to redirect part of its production towards e-commerce, progressively developing this business. Its success accelerated growth, making it necessary to replace an older machine in order to increase production capacity.
At this decisive stage, relying on Valmet was a natural choice for LC Paper: the service and support received throughout years of collaboration reinforced the confidence that, by choosing Perini MyGo, the company would be able to increase production capacity while maintaining full operational continuity. As a manufacturer serving several third-party brands, LC Paper is in many cases the sole supplier of the entire product range these customers offer to the market; any production interruption would directly affect their ability to supply end markets.
Valmet Perini MyGo therefore proved to be the best choice: a solution specifically designed to enable fast installations with minimal impact on operational capacity. Replacing a converting line in plants where space is limited, and where it is not always possible to operate the new machine in parallel with the existing one, is a particularly delicate operation. At the core of Perini MyGo is an engineering effort aimed both at reducing intervention time and ensuring a smooth, surprise-free start-up.
In just 16 days, the new line reached full production, thanks to the plug-and-play approach of Perini MyGo, which made commissioning particularly smooth. But the true value of the investment is measured over time: with the new line, LC Paper succeeded in increasing production capacity, ensuring continuity of supply for its established customer base and creating the conditions to further develop its e-commerce activities.
As LC Paper points out, beyond the line itself and the "turnkey supply", it is the customer support that accompanies the technology that made the real difference.
This is where Valmet’s added value truly emerges. Valmet technicians identified the most suitable machine settings and fine-tuned speed and productivity until the desired performance levels were achieved. A close partnership that continues over time.
The collaboration between LC Paper and Valmet demonstrates how choosing the right technology can translate into a tangible competitive advantage, enabling tissue producers to modernize their operations while keeping at the center of every decision what matters most: customer service, business continuity and the ability to support future growth.
