SIPAT, the leading hygiene paper
manufacturer in Morocco and North African markets, has completed a strategic
collaboration project with AMACO Group, a global leader in tissue paper
machinery. The project entailed a comprehensive upgrade of SIPAT’s tissue
production lines, enabling fully automated, hands-free operations achieving
what is known in the industry as “full automation” or “automated manufacturing,”
commonly referred to in the tissue sector as “with no hand contact.”
SIPAT specializes in the
production and processing of tissue paper and offers a wide range of products
tailored to meet market needs. With the successful implementation of this
project in collaboration with AMACO, SIPAT’s production lines and products are
now fully automated from raw material handling to manufacturing, packaging, and
market distribution. This project supports SIPAT’s expansion strategy on three
levels: improving product quality, enhancing production processes, and
accelerating market expansion.
Ali El Abdallah, Chairman of
AMACO Group, stated that tissue factories worldwide are undergoing a major
transformation toward increased reliance on automated production lines and advanced
technological features.
He added: “This development at
SIPAT is not just about keeping up with global tech trends it’s a strategic
investment that offers a wide array of benefits, enhancing efficiency, quality,
and even the working environment, while paving the way for innovation. The
production lines provided by AMACO come with numerous advantages. First and
foremost, increased productivity is the most significant benefit of automation.
Companies using these lines can operate factories non-stop, 24/7, with speeds
and precision beyond human capability. Second, this shift enables highly efficient
responses to rising market demands. Third, automating the production process
shortens production cycles and enhances companies' global
competitiveness."
Industrial automation is well
known for ensuring consistent and uniform product quality. Machines don’t tire
or make errors, significantly reducing defects. This consistency not only
boosts consumer confidence but also cuts waste and costs related to rework or
defective product replacement. Automated lines also lead to major long-term
operational cost savings by minimizing the need for human labor in repetitive
or hazardous tasks, reducing material waste and energy consumption, and
optimizing resource use. Moreover, these production lines offer high
flexibility, adapting easily to business or product design changes. They can be
reprogrammed quickly to produce different products or adjust operations,
allowing companies to respond swiftly to market shifts and evolving consumer
needs.
El Abdallah concluded: “Automation
is not merely a production upgrade; it is the gateway for companies to enter a
technological path of continuous innovation and new-tech adoption. It
strengthens their capabilities and market position, opening new opportunities
for design, development, expansion, and competitive leadership.”
