The paper and board community: Innovation through collaboration at the Technologie Kring Seminar


At the end of November 2026, German device manufacturer emtec Electronic GmbH is returning to Apeldoorn, Netherlands for the fall edition of the Technologie Kring VNP Millvision Seminar. From November 25th to 26th sales representatives Philipp Sievers and Andrea Maldonado Castellar from emtec plus local partner Thierry Onder de Linden from ODL Paper Service will be on site to discuss, share and explore new ideas. Fitting the seminar’s theme “Paper and board machines, technologies and products”, five of emtec’s paper and board measuring solutions are going to be presented at their tabletop.

Between masterclasses, pitches and networking opportunities on the event’s schedule, emtec will be showcasing a selection of their highly specialized laboratory and process measurement devices, including the FPA Fiber Potential Analyzer, the
CAS Charge Analyzing System, the ACA Ash Content Analyzer, the TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer and the EST Surface and Sizing Tester. Sievers, Castellar and Onder de Linden will talk to other industry professionals, companies and manufacturers to discuss how the technology can help innovate and support their production processes of paper and board products.

Process efficiency, product quality and resource utilization are constant concerns of paper manufacturers and converters. With the help of emtec’s measuring devices, companies are able to gain valuable detailed insight into their products’ properties, which can be used to implement changes in various application areas. The benefits of the technologies range from
objective analysis and comparison of haptic properties with the TSA to wet-end optimization with the CAS and FPA. Additionally, the ACA can be used for fast determination of filler content in paper and board, while the EST provides accurate measurements regarding the surface porosity and sizing.

Aside from the showcase, networking and community-building are a big part of the event. Manufacturers, researchers and experts attend to share their knowledge and experiences with each other and push forward positive transformation in the industry.

“We really appreciate these opportunities to have conversations with other professionals and learn from one another, whether it’s at the seminar or in casual talks. Innovation can’t happen if you’re not collaborating and interacting with the people in your field.”, says Philipp Sievers.

Interested visitors at the Auditorium De Hoge Veluwe are welcome at the tabletop from emtec and ODL Paper Service to discuss individual process challenges and technology solutions tailored to their needs. This will be Onder de Linden’s last trade fair with emtec as he is retiring at the end of the year. The company values the successful and productive collaboration with him over the last years and wishes him the very best.
