COVID 19 Update – April 13, 2020
Dear Valued Customer,
We hope this finds you and your colleagues healthy and well during these unprecedented times. As the world adjusts to what some are considering the “new normal” we wanted to take this time to inform you that business is operating more-or-less as usual at Paper Machinery Corporation. While a few adjustments have been required to comply with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, our operations are benefitting from these changes.
Some of the adjustments that we have made while still maintaining PMC quality include:
- To address the domestic and international travel ban, PMC Service has been hosting service conference calls to help support machine start-ups, tooling changes and other outstanding items, as well as providing step-by-step setup instructional guidance.
- With a required ban on visitors to PMC, we have also been conducting remote Machine Acceptances / Factory Authorized Testing (FAT). The remote FAT process includes shipping final samples to the customer for approval. PMC Sales will conduct the FAT requirements and share a final Test Run Data Sheet for customer approval. PMC is also prepared for video FAT as needed.
- Departments have been rotating shifts and working remotely via virtual meetings to minimize PMC employees on-site.
As we know, the situation with COVID-19 is extremely fluid and can change daily. We have been fortunate to not have any employees test positive. As of today, it is business as usual at PMC. In an effort to keep you as best informed as possible, we will look to send another update any time new information is available.
We thank you for your continued commitment to PMC and would appreciate learning how you and your company are maintaining productivity during these trying times. Send us a note to sales@papermc.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best!

THE PMC 1003 MACHINE FORMS 20-OUNCE PROMOTIONAL CUPS FROM RENEWABLE PE COATED PAPERBOARD AT INTERPACK 2017
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Donna Lehto
Marketing & Sales Coordinator
Paper Machinery Corporation
414-362-8231
MILWAUKEE, WI. – May 4, 2017 – Paper Machinery Corporation is recognized as a global leader in the design and manufacturing of cup and container forming machines. The PMC 1003 machine featured at PMC’s booth in Hall 11/C56 at Interpack 2017 is forming sustainable cups with the fully renewable paperboard, Cupforma Natura by Stora Enso.
“We are excited to form these environmentally friendly cups with our PMC 1003 machine,” stated Scott Eveland, PMC’s Vice President of International Sales. “The PMC 1003 produces paper cups and containers at speeds up to 330 CPM. This allows converters to complete large capacity runs faster with a reduced energy footprint. The PE Green coated Cupforma Natura paperboard we’re using at Interpack is Stora Enso’s newest, most advanced material for sustainable cups.”
The PMC 1003 cup forming machine meets the needs of high-volume paper cup and container converters providing greater efficiency for reduced energy consumption and lower production costs. The PMC 1003 integrates servo and cam technology to reduce inertia for exceptionally fast, efficient production. In addition to speed efficiencies, PMC machines incorporate resource reduction features that minimize oil consumption, electricity and compressed air usage and reduce scrap material waste.
PMC considers renewable cup and container forming a key factor in protecting the environment. PE Green coated Cupforma Natura by Stora Enso is an excellent material choice for sustainable solutions. PE Green coating provides the same high level of protection and functionality as standard polyethylene-coating, but in a fully sustainable form.
Cups made of Cupforma Natura are light, yet highly functional, thanks to the ideal structure of the board: three virgin-fiber, sulphate pulp layers, with the middle layer enhanced with CTMP (Chemi-Thermo-Mechanical Pulp). This structure enables lighter basis weight for the material, which in turn means higher material efficiency. Cupforma Natura is also fully recyclable, which makes it the economical and the ecological choice for hot and cold drinking cups and a wide range of other food packages.
“Sustainability is woven into our long-term corporate strategy,” stated Eveland. “We are continually engineering new features into our machines to reduce energy consumption and identifying effective recyclable materials for cup formation in addition to refitting our facility to reduce our own carbon footprint.”
PMC recognizes that corporate sustainability is not only a better way to treat the environment, but also a better way of doing business. The company is focused on environmental, economical and social sustainability.
