Production sector – advanced manufacturing and service departments
Administrative sector – Shared Service Center (SSC)

The PFR division consists of a seaming department, finishing process for plastic fabrics and complete production of metal fabrics. The seaming department is a where are WIS and SeamTech machines used for seaming process of various types of fabrics (forming fabrics, drying belts, engineered fabrics and washing fabrics) to endless belts or belts finished with a spiral seam. Finishing of plastic fabrics is process of trimming the threads from the seaming process to smooth the joint, applying plastic edges to prevent the edge from tearing on the tensioning device and final marking of the screens + sewing of various threading aids if required. The last department within the division is the weaving and processing of metal fabrics for use in the paper industry (diagonal covers), as conveyor belts used in high-temperature environments and also for the production of OSB boards.

We supply components for ANDRITZ Fiedler, including flanges, screen basket parts, and pulper rotor service parts. We produce items for the wedge wire division (filter candles, centrifuge screens) and basket systems for the food industry. Additionally, we manufacture perforated sheets, rolled tubes, stainless-steel components for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, and spare parts for feed production equipment. In the Dewatering segment, we provide filter bag and disc filter sector production, including the new Polyhex product. The Service Center performs major refurbishments of refiners and PSF screws and provides rotor and screen plate service for all OEMs. Thanks to EN ISO 3834 2 certification, we also carry out the production and assembly of equipment for Paper Machine Service, including moisturizers and steam boxes.
