Willst\u00e4tt\/Kehl-Kork, 2021\/07\/14 \u2013 Beaver Paper Group\u2014<\/strong> Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia\u2014was purchased by Oberkirch-based Koehler Group last year, representing an extension to its portfolio for specialty papers for sublimation printing. Beaver Paper\u2019s German site is located in Willst\u00e4tt, not far from the head office of the new parent company Koehler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Beaver Paper supplies its global customers with goods from both its US and German sites. In the past, rolls were cut at the Willst\u00e4tt site while sheets were cut overseas. A year ago the company also began cutting sheets in Germany. There has already been a significant increase in turnover in 2021. For cutting and further processing, Beaver Paper entered into a unique partnership with Hanauerland Werkst\u00e4tten, part of the civic and social organization Diakonie Kork. The Diakonie Kork workshops employ people with disabilities and have several sheet cutting machines and enough staff to pack the sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Joint Investment for Successful Long-Term Collaboration<\/strong>
Both parties benefited from the collaboration and managed to significantly increase the cutting volume in a short space of time. \u201cIt quickly became clear that the existing capacity at Diakonie Kork would not be sufficient,\u201d recalls Tobias Sternbeck, CEO of Beaver Paper, who was adamant that the cooperation should continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


A fast and straightforward solution was required, and Beaver Paper and Hanauerland Werkst\u00e4tten ultimately decided to invest in a new cutting machine. Baumann Maschinenbau Solms GmbH & Co. KG were chosen to supply the machine and the company was also prepared to make a contribution to the project by adjusting the price accordingly. The new machine was put into operation within five months of the decision being made. Uwe Streit, Sales Further Processing at Baumann: \u201cWe are amazed at how well a cooperation like this can run; this is the first such project that we have been involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Beaver Paper not only sees this as an investment in a trustworthy partner but also as an investment in social responsibility: \u201cWith this in mind, we also wanted to give these processing steps to the workshops for people with disabilities since we are very much committed to helping them participate in the job market,\u201d says Tobias Sternbeck.\u201cWe now employ a team of eight people with disabilities to work on the new machine. Everything runs smoothly as we have divided the work into small steps. The excitement about the new machine and the feeling of playing an important part in a task makes a huge contribution to the satisfaction of all those involved in the process,\u201d explains Hajo Maelger, Operations Manager in Kork. His colleague Markus De\u0002ger from production management is also delighted with the cooperation: \u201cWe have been active in paper processing for many years. The collaboration with Koehler represents a new dimension for us, and one which will make us stronger for the future.\u201d Markus Deger is particularly impressed by the technology from Solms-based machine builder Baumann: \u201cWe are working with a machine that meets the requirements of the employer\u2019s liability insurance association from the start and protects our employees.\u201d Those involved all agree on one thing\u2014seeing the happy faces of those working in the workshops was worth all the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
